Thanks for visiting my page!

I'm originally from Central Pennsylvania and never settled obsessing on one topic, I find too many subjects fascinating. In high school I wrote a few short stories and poems for various assignments, and hope recover them for publishing later; it was always an interest that I've now found the opportunity to pursue as a hobby that I hope you will enjoy.

After high school I attended York College of Pennsylvania and received a BA of Political Science concentrating in International Studies and was grateful for the education during my first career as an Armor Officer in the US Army. I found that much of my education was finding ways to interpret different events, identifying the roots and where things could possibly lead.

After over 8 years of active service and deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan, I decided to settle in Central Texas after living between El Paso and Phenix City, AL; I transferred to the Reserves, found work, and began pursuing a second career in aviation.

These stories began during an early stint at Fort Hood in 2012; I decided to put pen to paper after a horrifying dream, that story ended up as a draft called "Run" and finally, after much editing a longer story I published as All of the Tigers are Smiling.

After writing the ending (no spoilers, I am a kind and generous god...) I couldn't help but ask myself a few questions about different characters, their world, and everything else. The notes became a longer story and completely spiralled out of control. Now, it's Eileen's War with sequels to come.

Recently I've been playing around with other stories, some of their opening chapters are on my minds.com account and I'm planning to publish a collection of these short stories sometime in 2019.
