He attended a one-room, red-brick grade school and in 1968 received a degree in history and political science from the University of Montana. He worked as a ditch digger, logger, and gandy dancer, before becoming a manager with a large municipal water system. After nearly twenty years of rationalizing his drug use as “recreational” he began smoking crack cocaine. By 1995 his job and family were gone; he was buried in debt, homeless, and living in a rescue mission. All that changed and today he volunteers as a counselor at a local, non-profit food pantry, where he meets people whose needs go beyond food. He lives in Homer, Alaska with his wife, Joan, author of Cow Woman of Akutan.view less
