He received his BA and MA from UNM, then went on the Denver University, where he received his PhD in Creative Writing and English. He was a prolific writer of numerous novels and short stories, the most important being, "The Adventures of Pinto Bean and Chapulin" and "The Chili Pot", which can still be found in many school and public libraries.
