Hank decided to give up owning cars when he began teaching at the University of Maine and discovered that he could get to work easily by bus and/or bicycle. He is an amateur musician and can be found occasionally at open mic nights in and around Bangor. He is a great-great grandson of James A. Garfield, the last U.S. president born in a log cabin.

Hank’s writing has appeared in San Diego Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Downeast, Bangor Metro, and many other magazines and newspapers. He is the author of five published novels, and is currently seeking a publisher for his recently-completed novel, A Sprauling Family Saga.
