I’ve been writing in various forms for most of my life. I began writing shortly after my father gave me a leather bound copy of Treasure Island when I was a kid. Those notebooks have been lost in the shuffle of life, but what remained was my love of telling stories. I wrote for numerous websites when I was a teenager and the internet was in its infancy…I’m sure there’s a GeoCities website or two that might still have some of my fiction up. After a while I wrote mainly in my spare time and typically only shared those stories with a handful of friends and family. In 2008, at the urging of my wife, I decided to try my hand at a full length novel.

Since then I’ve won numerous awards, become an Amazon Top Ten author with each of my novels and I’m working towards that elusive “Best Seller” moniker now.
