Plot: Choreographer Anna buries her best friend and is shocked when her dead friend’s brother comes to collect her personal effects. His coarse honesty and overbearing personality are the antithesis of Anna’s artist boyfriend and everyone else in her

A former tax attorney, Tom holds a bachelor's degree as well as both a juris doctorate and masters of laws in taxation from the University of Florida. Tom lives in Estero, Florida with his fiancee, Connie, and their four cats.
