Born of a poor working class family which has mainly lived in Westchester County, NY. I have graduated from SUNY Purchase, NY with a BA in Anthropology. My graduate degrees are as follows: BSc in International Organizations from LI University at Mercy, BS in Sociology from City University of New York (CUNY), PhD in Economic Sociology from CUNY. I have taught sociology in several colleges in the CUNY system but especially at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I have also been a researcher in a major patent firm in NYC. Currently retired and continuing to do research and writing independently. I am now living in Peru, SA.
My family goes back to Lt. William Palmer who arrived in MA about 1630. That is my paternal grandmother's line. The Briggs line may go back to Henry Briggs 1745 in Orange County, NY. The next generation of Briggs went to Greene County, NY and my father's line moved to Westchester County.
