I’m a mechanical and biomedical engineer who has worked in the orthopedic implant and medical device industry and as an engineering professor, and yet I’ve always had a passion for writing.

Life sidetracked my manuscript for APEX for several years, but then I applied to Stanford’s Online Writing Certificate program in 2014 and was accepted. I joined a cohort of 45 wonderful, gifted, aspiring writers and went through a series of courses that developed and honed my skills until I emerged on the other end a proud graduate with a completed manuscript that has gone through several major revisions to become the story it is today. Still more work is required, but the novel is beginning to take shape and read like the sci-fi thriller it is meant to be.

I’m inspired by science, technology, and innovation, so I’ve gone to great lengths to make all the science in my novel real or plausible. I’ve done considerable research to keep the facts straight, and part of the fun for me has been doing the sleuthing necessary to satisfy even my curiosity. I've also learned a great deal about Oregon, my home from 2008 to 2018. I have now moved to beautiful Christchurch, New Zealand, enjoying a new chapter of my life.
