Hartley's passion for the written word began as
a teenager when, at age 14, he entered and won an essay contest
sponsored by Warner Bros. His prize-winning, 50 word essay, "Why
I Would Like to Fly," earned him flying lessons. Later as a teenager
at Annapolis, he was editor-in-chief of The Log, the school's bi-weekly
magazine.
As life went on, Hartley continued to find pleasure
in writing articles, screenplays and, most recently, poetry. He
uses his experience as a carrier fighter pilot; as an actor; as
a businessman and as a producer of film, television and theater
as material for his writing.
