He was born in Bellview. New Mexico and received his bachelors degree from Eastern New Mexico University, two masters degrees from Western State College, Gunnison, Colorado and his doctorate from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, Colorado. He taught at San Diego State College, San Jacinto Junior College, and University of Northern Colorado. He retired as first professor emeritus from Aims College in Greeley, Colorado where he taught literature, philosophy, ethics, logic and humanities.
The author, as with his first two novels, Coker, A Mountain Mans Story and its sequel, Coker, The Last Switchback, used his personal experiences to bring this novel to fruition.
He lived the life of both a professor and a true mountain man, camping, riding, training and packing his mules and horses in the Colorado Rocky Mountains he loved so much. He really did fight forest fires using every piece of fire fighting equipment mentioned in the story. He rode every trail and stood on every peak, thus was very qualified to base his stories on the factual events he mingled with the fiction.
The author has written several novels as well as numerous short stories. Unfortunately he passed away a few months before he finished this novel for publication. In his memory I have put the final touches on the novel and prepared it for publication.
