Born on a bed of books, Ted spent his youth exploring the multi-dimensional universe of fiction through Hobbiton, the Klingon Home Planet, Orwellian Dystopias and Asimovian Robot Empires.

On the non-fiction side of the space-time continuum, he has built computers, written software in multiple human and machine languages, studied the rise and fall of civilizations, decoded ancient religious texts as well as deciphered corporate financial statements. (Phoenician and Sumerian were easier to make sense of than AIG or IBM.)

A long-time resident of Lake Worth, Florida, he has been active in community affairs, co-founder of the Lake Worth Interfaith Network, organizer of Peace Jam for Earth Day, past president of Kiwanis, member of Lake Worth’s Martin Luther King Day Committee and board member of the Magdalene Carney Baha’i Institute.

His published writings span topics ranging from Interfaith Prayer to Insurance Company Insolvency. Most recently, in a return to the green fields of fiction, Ted has united his fact and fantasy universes by authoring his first novel, Sunshine Republic, a light-hearted satire of Florida’s social, spiritual and political life.
