Well...My dad formed and ran a weekly newspaper when I was 13. I became the backshop foreman, even though I was (obviously) still in school. I was a journeyman Linotype (a typesetting machine) operator, and pressman, plus occasional writing of all sorts.

I continued this work through high school and even on my vacations from Duke University. While in the U. S. Air Force, I wrote a weekly column. Following my discharge from the  Air Force in 1953, I once again worked at the newspaper.

In 1954 I enrolled in dental school, graduating in 1958, when I opened my dental practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, home of the University of North Carolina. I worked at a local newspaper and printing house while in dental school. As a practicing dentist, I taught, lectured and published two textbooks on dentistry (Amazon.Com).

Retiring from dentistry in 1979, my wife saw me sitting around looking somewhat bored and suggested I write myself a novel. I've since published two novels (Amazon.Com), and have two more and an illustrated children's book on my hard drive.

I've more recently ventured into screenplay writing, with a number of "looks," but no sales yet. 

Incidentally, I'm 77 years old now, proving once again, that one can begin a new profession even at this late stage of life.
