Larry King

I am a college professor, vagabond, and writer. A little background is in order: I was raised on a farm in Colorado, My childhood was spent exploring along the Clear Creek River that ran nearby. The first time I ran away from home was with my dog was at the age 3, at least that’s what my mom told me. They found us building a fort down by the river. The Vietnam War was raging when I graduated from Colorado State University but I got a deferment for teaching. I liked teaching. Later I got a doctorate in Marketing from Michigan State University and started teaching in New York City. That's when my vagabonding took off. I was single and had no car, so each summer I'd hitchhike around the country. Later, I moved on to South America and then China. It gets in your blood I still teach the best and brightest at Fordham University in NYC I'm currently teaching Marketing and Chinese Business Etiquette at the Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business in NYC. My wife and I live in a stone cottage, 50 miles north in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, along with our four dogs and four cats. I'm writing my first novel, "Long Way Home." Specialties: Nature lover. I have a mountain camp just off the Appalachian Trail. It’s a three mile hike each way which is good for me or the dogs. There’s something about camping alone in the woods, listening to the loons at night and the sound of the nearby creek flows right into my soul.
