Dennis was born in the same hospital as John Wayne, living his entire childhood in Iowa until leaving for higher education.

After graduating from LeTourneau College, (now a university), in Longview, Texas, he returned home to the Hawkeye State.

He left Iowa again to chase down his almost-a-wife who had taken a job in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. It's lovingly called "God's Country" and it has been truly that to Dennis, his bride of 42 years, and their kids, who have now gone out into the world.

Dennis has enjoyed reading and writing since elementary school and, to this day, still barely tolerates arithmetic.

He has written various stories, articles, song lyrics, and Faith-based screenplays. And really likes dark roast coffee.
