Alan Livingston


Mr. Livingston is a native of Fort Worth, Texas, where he last resided in 1974 before moving away to attend The University of Texas at Austin. Throughout his life, Mr. Livingston has been known by his first name – Charles, or Charlie – but when moving to writing full-time late in life, he chose to publish under his middle name, Alan. He now lives with his wife in Las Vegas, Nevada, although there were many stops in between, to live in the states of Georgia, Texas, California, Ohio, Arizona, and Mississippi; extensive travel took him to work in many others. 
For most of his adult life, Mr. Livingston’s career was accounting in the hospitality industry. His over 30 years in hotels, resorts, golf courses, and casinos began at the bottom as a university student, from which he started a climb to become a corporate executive. He also has been a casino table games dealer and overhauled the financial aspects of both a large property owner’s association in Mississippi and a church in Las Vegas. Oddly enough for an accountant, oversight of golf operations was included in his responsibilities more than once.
The author believes his love for writing started in high school, although he had already published a periodical newsletter as early as grade school. At Western Hills High School in Fort Worth, the late Ms. Melba Jackson was a favorite teacher of his Journalism class, leading him to be the Sports Editor of the large school’s paper. Heading to college, Journalism was his first choice as a major. Not unusual for a freshman, he changed that at registration, remaining in the School of Communication as a Radio/TV/Film major. In his sophomore year, peers and family convinced him that the school of Business Administration provided a better career path. Finance became his final major through his completion in 1978.
The author held a variety of jobs while a full-time college student. The second of his middle-of-the-night hotel jobs began a 10-year career with Marriott Hotels and Resorts. That period began as a Night Auditor in Austin, then progressed as he wove through Atlanta, DFW Airport, and Anaheim before completing his time with Marriott as a Hotel Controller in La Jolla, California.
Lured away from Marriott, he spent the next few years as a Regional Controller for Stouffer Hotels and Resorts, traveling extensively from his base at their corporate office in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. In this capacity, he provided corporate oversight of several high-profile properties in the U.S. West and Southwest, auditing both the books and operations of local management. His professional writing was frequent, as his trademark lengthy trip reports would document everything in extreme detail.
During this time with Stouffer Hotels, Mr. Livingston met the woman he would ultimately marry, along with her three young children who would become his step kids. This union could only happen by walking away from his executive job, so that’s what he did. As a result, the new family moved to suburban Atlanta, Georgia, where the new spouse continued her own successful career. In a short time, Mr. Livingston accepted an offer to return to an executive management position in the hospitality industry which fatefully relocated the family to Biloxi, Mississippi.
