I am a family man, first and foremost. I live with my beautiful wife and two dogs in Ohio. A proud father of three amazing children and three wonderful grandchildren, I've been fortunate to have their support in my writing binges (trust me, it means a lot). As for authors, I've been a longtime fan of Arthur C Clarke, Orson Scott Card, Kim Stanley Robinson, Greg Bear, and Tad Williams.A heavy diet of internet culture centered around science, technology, science-fiction, fantasy, politics, and news of the world keeps my mind flooded with ideas and scenarios to fuel my writing. I hope my interpretation of this ongoing onslaught of stimuli into tales of speculative fiction entertain and engage you. I thank you for reading.
