Recently Interviewed with Amazing Worlds of Fantasy

By day, I’m a science educator shaping young minds and explaining why you should never lick mysterious rocks. By night, I’m an author, husband, father of two, doctoral student, and full-time nerd enthusiast fueled primarily by caffeine and questionable sleep decisions.

I write stories filled with monsters, magic, impossible choices, and the occasional emotional damage—because apparently my hobbies include asking “What if fantasy heroes needed therapy?”

When I’m not writing, I’m usually grading papers, running tabletop RPG campaigns, landscaping like an aging wizard maintaining his tower grounds, or trying to convince my children that “just one more chapter” applies to bedtime too.

I believe the best stories remind us that ordinary people can face impossible darkness and still choose courage, compassion, and hope. Also explosions. Explosions help.
