Stavros was born in Istanbul, Turkey and immigrated with his parents to the United States after the anti-Greek pogrom of 1955. He grew up in the Yorkville section of Manhattan, eventually graduating from Stuyvesant HS and New York University. At the age of 19 he embarked upon a twenty-two year career in the U.S. Marine Corps which included service in Indochina and the first Gulf War. He was stationed for two years in Athens, Greece where he met and married his wife, Anna. After retiring from the Marine Corps, Stavros went back to school and is currently working as a nurse practitioner. His love of storytelling and writing finally found expression in his long running blog, My Greek Odyssey, which is about Greeks and things Greek. Ithaka on the Horizon is his first book.It is an autobiographical journey through life that speaks to the immigrant experience and is interwoven with the rich tapestry of the last one hundred years of Greek history. It is, above all, a saga about family and how each of us is changed and affected by generations, past and present.
