I spent over 30 years in the computer industry, starting in the UK in 1962. This was followed by 13 years with the Essex County Community Foundation which I co-founded in 1998. I live on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, with Helen, my wife of 48 years.
After retiring from ECCF, I felt the urge to research the origins of philanthropy in New England. My research uncovered facts about the early settlements here that appeared to be generally unknown. As I delved deeper, the character Isaac Stanfield evolved to become the observer and participant in that early history.
Boats have been a part of my life from an early age. After moving to the United States in 1980, Helen and I spent over 30 years sailing our 37′ Pearson. We fell in love with the coast of Maine, its history, the bays, islands, fog, and abundant wildlife.
