I discovered science fiction at age ten when I read the Lensman series by E. E. Doc Smith, and instantly fell in love with the genre. After graduating from San Jose State University with a business degree, I worked at Intel for twenty-five years, starting as a software developer and retiring early as a Director of Application Development. My wife Carolyn and I are blessed with two wonderful children. I love the outdoors and go hiking or mountain biking every week. I am currently writing two science fiction series.
