About Me

"Every day is a journey and the journey itself is home."

Storytelling has always been my lifelong passion—a counterpoint to my distinguished career in the high-tech world. For over 25 years, I worked with leading companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, and Apple, driving innovation in electronic design automation (EDA), chip design, and artificial intelligence. While technology shaped my perspective and career path, my heart has always belonged to writing.

Through my books, I explore the depths of human experience and the enduring power of faith. My work spans diverse genres, including Holocaust narratives, science fiction, and stories rooted in the Middle East. Despite their differences, each story is connected by a common thread: the exploration of human redemption and the timeless beliefs that can transform both individuals and society.

Life Without Doors

Espionage, Silence, and the Price of Loyalty
An operative from Israel’s most secretive intelligence unit disappears. The file is thin. The lives orbiting him are not. Moosa, a young Druze from the Carmel, once dreamed of becoming a pediatrician. The army had other ideas. Handpicked for a top Israeli intelligence unit, he is remade—trained, polished, and pushed into the shadows of Beirut, Gaza, Tehran—until his real life shrinks to a cover legend and a stack of reports that never bear his name.

The Unforgotten Prayer...Well, initially I thought this was supposed to be a true story as the website where I first read about the book seemed to indicate that. After receiving the book…
