I was born in Racine, Wisconsin, and have lived in Kansas, Texas, and Iowa. I have over ten years of experience in mental health and family systems, and over twenty years experience in parish ministry and administration. I hold degrees in psychology, social work and divinity. I live in Dubuque, Iowa with my wife of over 40 years, Dr. Susan Hansen, a professor of international business management. “Daughters of Teutobod” is my second novel. My first novel, “Gathered”, was published in 2019 by Atmosphere Press.
