He currently resides in Northern California with his wife, daughter, and cat. By day he fixes computers, and by night he creates stories. Having spent his entire life "thinking stuff up", the advent of digital publishing has finally given him an excuse to write it all down and share it with others.

To be set in his own version of humanity's future, his characters will explore the vast reaches of the galaxy, and perhaps even the universe.
