Alan Orloff

Before Alan stepped off the corporate merry-go-round to concentrate on writing, he had an eclectic (some might say disjointed) career. As an engineer, he worked on nuclear submarines, supervised assembly workers in factories, facilitated technology transfer from the Star Wars program, and learned to stack washing machines three high in a warehouse with a forklift. He even started his own newsletter business, educating the public about the benefits of recycling and waste reduction. Alan earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland and an M.B.A. from MIT/Sloan. He belongs to Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, and The Writer’s Center in Bethesda, MD. Residing in Northern Virginia with his diamond-loving wife and two sons, he’s currently hard at work on his next novel.
