...and then I write.

I have lead what I would like to think has been an interesting life. As I experienced a myriad of events and dreamed vividly each night about adventure, excitement and more, I quickly found that it was fun to record those experiences, to write and remember in both poetry and story. Using that writing became second nature and I would tell the stories that had happened or been dreamed and enjoy a moment with someone only to create another story with them and so on.

Originally I was from Anderson, Indiana, but it is hard to know where home was as we moved each year until I was 15. As such I have experienced a variety of events, some great, and some not so great. I believe as many that strong emotions build a story more than the mundane, and I have been involved in some difficult times.

In 2015 I decided short stories were not enough and began writing my first novel. I picked a title that fit, then shifted the title for advertising purposes but believe I have written something fun, full of action, and enjoyable to many. In the end that will be for you to decide. More will follow as I will be building with the characters in Vengeful Son and enjoying the time.

In my spare time I am all over the place with hobbies, from photography to weaponry it is very broad. I shoot often, and enjoy life every day. (I also write each day on 29000sunsets.com and share a picture of a sunset from my collection of over 8,000 sunset photos)
