I was born in 1945, am happily married and live in Midcoast Maine. As a partner at Future Pastimes, I`m an active board, card, and digital game designer with some of the games my partners and I designed in the `70s and `80s still in the marketplace today (Cosmic Encounter® and DUNE with expansions, Decipher and WORDSMITH, etc.). Our current publishers are Fantasy Flight Games (Asmodee North America), Gale Force Nine (a Battlefront Miniatures company), and HeidelBÄR Games and we have new game products in the works including the recently announced Arrakis, Dawn of the Fremen and others that will be announced later this year and in 2023. As a programmer I also have digital entertainment product development experience (Cosmic Encounter® Online, NBA Courtside Live Flash App used by the NBA and WNBA for 4 years in the 2000s). I`m also a database designer and developer. My company Maine Quality Information Partners developed and supported a multi-user Online Wellness Database and Management Program for Maine State employees. One of my pet projects is a large database design created to support adjusting the database purpose and possible uses over time by changing information in key database tables and stored procedures if or as needed. I have also created 2 Kindle/ePub and 10 PDF self-published books of poetry. ©
