About the Author:

My life began on a beach trip with my parents who needed to make an emergency stop in the small town of Toledo, Oregon in a hospital that has since been torn down. From there, I spent the rest of my childhood being raised on the family farm. It was constant work from sun up to sun down in the fields and tending to the Thoroughbred racing horses that we bred. During that time, we were not able to take many vacations due to lack of financial stability so I needed to find another way to get away from the everyday grind and that is when I fell in love with writing. It was during one of my English classes in elementary school where the teacher had us write a story that we made up on the spot. Mine was a story of a 9 year old (same age as me at the time) boy who loved bowling and had superpowers. During the time to write, I was writing frantically as I was caught up in the story and could not get away. As the teacher told us to put our pencils down, I had written 10 pages while the rest of the class averaged 1. This is when I felt my heart first started beating.

Since that time, I served in the United States Air Force, graduated college, started a family with 2 children and my beautiful wife, and work full time as well. I recently have gone back to college for my Bachelors degree and so my time in consumed on a daily basis. As life has gone on and I have experienced many things, it has all come full circle to where when I need my vacation, I pick up a pen and paper or open my computer and begin exploring the worlds that form in my mind. Writing is not only my passion, it is a part of who I am.
