Outside of tech, he has been a small business owner, real estate investor, aerial photographer, flight instructor, and semi-professional banjo player.

His debut novel, Diver’s Paradise, introduced retired detective Roscoe Conklin, who trades his badge for island life only to find that crime follows him to paradise. Goodwin and his wife have visited Bonaire dozens of times over the years, and that familiarity with the island’s landscape and community runs through the books. The series is published by Oceanview Publishing.
