There are some sites you can use to help check on literary agents and see if they are recommended or warned against.

Here are some of the links:

Preditors and Editors provides lists of agents and publishers, with "not recommended" notations to indicate those who charge fees or engage in other writer abuses.

He's listed on P&E and DOES NOT have any disparaging remarks against him. So that's a GOOD thing.

Another place to look is The Association of Authors' Representatives (AAR) website which includes a list of member agents, the Canon of Ethics to which members subscribe, suggested questions for an agent who's offered you representation, and links to writers' resources.

I checked there and he's not listed, which only means he's not a member of AAR, not anything else.

I hope htat helps.. looks like you have a legitimate agent who may be able to help you out with getting your work published. I'd say, go for it.

Best of luck!
