Born in San Dimas, CA. I was raised in a manner that sparked a lifelong passion for the written word. I currently reside in Kansas City, MO with my wife, daughters, and German Shepard. Sharing stories with my family growing up was a highlight I carried to my children. Nightly bedtime stories grew into epic sagas and, eventually, into books. Writing has grown into possibly my favorite pastime and is a growing passion. It is my great hope that, if nothing else, the stories I write can in some way entertain, delight, and offer a much-needed escape from the day-to-day life we all experience.
