Sci-fi author, reader, and enthusiast from the Midwestern United States. 'Silence of the Stars,' my debut science-fiction novel, was released in February of 2023 after years of writing and revision. I am currently in the final drafting phases of its sequel, tentatively entitled 'Solace of the Stars.' I draw vast quantities of inspiration from classic genre authors like Asimov and Clarke, as well as contemporary writers such as Adrian Tchaikovsky and Alastair Reynolds. Outside of writing and reading, I am a passionate logistician who has been involved in transportation for nearly seven years, a dedicated historian, and a veteran infantryman since 2012. I use my interests and life experiences to bring life and authenticity to my writing, and I hope they add substance to the page.
