Dennis Brogan is an entrepreneur, actor, author and publisher residing in Syracuse, NY. Dennis has performed in regional theater and worked in the broadcasting industry. The last sixteen years he has owned and operated two successful marketing and design companies in Syracuse and across the Upstate Region. His inspiration for writing is born in his father Bill’s storytelling and the influence of Ernest Hemingway. Over the last thirty-four years his study and research of Ernest M. Hemingway has led to his picking up a pencil and a yellow pad. Brogan has authored a one-man play on Ernest Hemingway titled; Papa and Evening with Ernest where he portrays Mr. Hemingway during a visit from a young reporter from Petosky, Mi. on his veranda in Cuba. That play is in pre-production now.
