I was born in Rhode Island, but before I was old enough to remember much of it, my family moved to California. I grew up in sunny San Diego, where I started writing at fourteen-filling notebooks with complete worlds and characters I never planned to share. Writing was my private escape, a place where I could explore ideas too big to keep inside.Life took me on a different path for a while. I joined the U.S. Army, and after my service, I eventually settled in Houston, Texas. I'm a proud father to one daughter and two amazing stepdaughters. Alongside my creative life, I've built a 25-year career in information technology, with the last 15 years spent in senior and management roles. That career taught me discipline, strategy, and how to bring complex visions to life-skills I now pour into my writing and publishing.For decades, my stories stayed locked away. But recently, I decided to self-publish everything I've been holding onto. These worlds have lived in my head long enough-it's time to share them.
