I am a retired US ARMY Lieutenant Colonel who spent over 21 years on Active Duty as a Pharmacist and Health Care Administrator. And then I retired…And then…

         …Back in 1995, I stumbled upon and met Jerry Maren, the Original “Lollipop Kid” Munchkin from the 1939 “Wizard of OZ” movie. Jerry and I instantly bonded. Jerry asked me if I would become his personal agent. Within three months, Jerry introduced me to several other Munchkin “Little People”. I ultimately expanded my newly formed business to EIGHT original Munchkin Cast Members!! WOW!!!

          Yes, my wife and I had the pleasure for over 25 years working with these tiny icons as their “Munchkin Agents”, listening to them as they shared their treasured stories with thousands of OZ fans of all ages.

For more than twenty years, I collected over a hundred thousands Munchkin personally signed Wizard of OZ memorabilia. And now, six years AFTER JERRY’S DEATH IN 2018, I continue to fulfill Jerry’s wish and share these treasured items with the World, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to 501C3 non-profit Charities.

And the rest is history… I authored my book and named it “Munchkins Beyond OZ – 85 Years Later”!!

My Book “Munchkins Beyond OZ 85 Years Later” is dedicated to the children in all of us, especially my wife Pat, my kids Kimberly and Scott and their spouses Dan and Tiffany, and three awesome Grandkids, Andrew, Mia and Allie.
