Born and raised in the southern part of Indiana, I've always enjoyed reading Sci/Fi and  Fantasy Books. Anything from comic books to full length fantasy adventure novels. As a child alot of my free time was spent either watching science fiction television shows such as Star Trek, Battle Star Galactica, and Buck Rogers. Each one of these played an enormous role in developing my love for Sci/Fi and later helped me create alot of the ideas that I put into my first book. I was introduced to the world of Dungeons and Dragons at a somewhat later stage in my growing years, which I became completely obssessed with and that also had a major influence in helping me create names and places that later fit into my books story line. Some of my favorite writers and people that I would like to model myself after as a writer would be Terry Brooks, J.R.R Tolkien, and Sean Russell. All of which have had an enormous impact on my writing and  storyline development.
