About the Author

After high school, I spent four years in the Air Force as a Medic. During my years, my first assignment was at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, in Dayton, Ohio. My second base was at Elmendorf Air Force Base, in Anchorage, Alaska. Following my discharge, I attended Wright State University, where I earned a Master of Science degree in geology. I then entered the oil industry in Houston, Texas, as a Petroleum Geologist. My career in the oil industry ended during a period of unusually low oil prices. I took that as a sign from above to try something new. So, I did something that I had been doing as a hobby for years - I took up writing. With my novels, short stories, a book discussing my ideas on gravity and a book on managing diabetes, this life switch has taken hold. My various career venues have played a large part in writing both my fiction and my non-fiction. There isn't one scene, event or character in my books that is not impacted by events in my life. The cliché about write about what you know actually works. I think my scenes and characters are real because in a way, I have experienced all of them before putting them to paper.
