He worked as an ad agency copywriter, convenience store clerk, high school teacher, construction worker, TV weatherman, radio announcer, apprentice cook under a world-class chef, waiter, bread delivery man, speech writer for a state legislator, branch manager for a national stock brokerage firm and financial advisor. Bull moved to California in 1982 to study parapsychology in the unique masters program at JFK University. Bull was business editor and columnist for the FRESNO WEEKLY newspaper, and he co-hosted the nationally syndicated WEBMASTER RADIO SHOW, an interview show that featured the giants of the high tech world during the climax of the Dot-Com bubble. He is currently a financial advisor, a columnist for THE FRESNO BEE, and a sometimes announcer for KVPR - national public radio in Fresno. A paranormal and "alternate history" buff, Bull is working on more short stories and novels, as well as a non-fiction work on the Unified Field Theory.
