I spent my formative years in the school library reading every science and science fiction book they had. I am also a child of the Twilight Zone and Outer Limits TV series. I then went into the Nuclear Navy and spent 6 years making holes in the ocean on a submarine. I worked for the civilian Nuclear industry for a decade, then started working with Oracle and stuck with it for the last 19 years. I am happily married going on 36 years (as of 2009) with a wonderful wife,  two great daughters, a wonderful grandson and a wonderful grand daughter. As to why I write? How can one not write is a better question. Take a look at my fiction books, they are full downloads and let me know how you like them!



Birth Place: Council Bluffs, IA USA

Accomplishments: I have received awards for technical articals and I was a runner up for the Hubbard Writers of the Future contest several years ago.
