I live in rural Oregon with my wife, Gwen. I began my working life in the construction field as a hod- carrier in 1975, then as a bricklayer in 1977. In 1990 I became a Special Inspector. I retired as a Master Special Inspector in 2013. At the University of Idaho, I studied construction, architecture, and creative writing. My hobbies include shooting and collecting traditional archery and shooting and collecting black powder arms. Favorite themes to write about are Western History, Mountain Men, Bounty Hunters, and Military History.

I am planning a series based on my two latest books. One a Mountain Man story, the second a Bounty Hunter story. If you like what you read, leave a review.

I hope you enjoy my take on Mountain Man adventures and leave a review.

"Eternal" is my first attempt at a military-adventure/history-Time Travel novel, released by DSP. It's not a Western but give it a try and let me know how you like it.

"Second Chances" is my first attempt at a modern time western.

All my books are available as paperback and ebooks. Thanks for your continued interest.
