About. me



Hopeless nerd, sports nut, father of 2, animator-by-day, obsessed with telling stories. Nowadays, living in Round Rock, Texas with my wonderful wife and the company of 2 dogs who think I'm shockingly boring entertainment.
BFA from the University of Florida, MFA from Savannah College of Art & Design.
My father was ex-Air Force and an airline pilot, so I saw the world when I was 9 (sure wish I could do it now). As Johnny Cash said, "I've been everywhere, man."





I've been writing stories since I was 11 years old when I decided my cool Dungeons and Dragons character needed to be the subject of an epic novel. Never did get that one done, but kept the fire burning ever since.

I became a visual artist, the last 16 years working as a computer animator. I make other writers and directors dreams come true, making their bad stories look good on screen. So, I wondered... could I do any better?

I find that writing books is my passion, the thing I like to do even when all other choices are available. I only hope enough people find the stories worthwhile. I would love to keep doing it as a profession one day. Thanks for reading!
