About Me
I am a member of the church of Christ and preach part time. My wife and I were married August 6th, 2005 in a beautiful wedding on the beach in Florida. We had twins in October of 2009. I'm also a high school Physics teacher (also certified in Chemistry and Math and have taught Game Design as well). Formerly a video game designer for Warthog, TX/Gizmondo, TX and Sony Online Entertainment (Star Wars Galaxies), I decided to become a teacher for a more stable career path in order to support my family. I still design games on the side (Neverwinter Nights is my favorite). I'm also an author.

Writing
I began writing in the 6th grade, in a notebook in pencil. Then my dad got a new-fangled personal computer with DOS and MS Works 2.0. The rest was history. I would spend almost every day after school in his office typing (he was the school district's superintendent and it was a 1A school so his office was behind the band-hall). It took me till my senior year to finish that first book, Demon War. When I married in 2005, I had finished sixteen full length novels. However, due to the method of my organization (Prologue, 15 Chapters, Epilogue without regard to chapter length), these books are all well over 300,000 words. In other words, the equivalent of 46 novels.

My wife, once she realized how many I'd written, smacked me over the head and said I should publish. I began polishing Islands of Loar: Sundered, a 360,000 word novel that eventually I split into four (Islands of Loar: Causality is the second). When the writing whim took over my editing, I worked on the third book, Islands of Loar: Rebellion, which is now published. The last in the quartet, Prophecy, is in the final editing and coverart phase as of April 2019.
