Born and raised in the Puget Sound region of Washington state, I am a fan of most things science fiction and fantasy. From the time I was young, I dreamed of writing books in the style of Star Wars, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. In elementary school, I wrote a few outer space stories for the school library, one of which was accepted. In addition to science fiction, I have written scripts for the Christian stage and poetry. I've appeared in numerous stage productions. A band I was in for a short while was the headlining act at a Christian music festival. I am also a landscape painter. While still residing in the Puget Sound area, I'm constantly dreaming up new stories to work on.
