He served six years in the US Air Force as a firearms instructor and competitive shooter on the Air Force pistol team at Lackland AFB, and later as an instructor at the Air Force Academy. He's had an interest in metaphysical studies, shamanism, ancient cultures, and religions since the late 1960s, personally practicing some of these disciplines. Though he's had an interest in writing for many years, retirement has allowed this interest to finally manifest in his fantasy book writings.
