I am an avid reader of Science Fiction and Technical Thrillers. I am also a fan of American History. My creation, Osguards, is a contemporary blend of these genres. Most authors write characters they are comfortable with describing. This translates to characters that are vaguely but truly natural extensions of themselves. I am no exception to this concept. My unique military experience coupled with my international relations and computer savvy gives me credence to reach an untapped audience of Science Fiction fans. I am a senior military analyst, a retired military officer and a twenty-year veteran of the United States Air Force. I flew B-52's as an Electronic Warfare Officer and have 3,000 flight hours and 300 combat hours. I've used my knowledge in the art of war, military weapons and combat defenses in planning over 400 combat sorties.

Besides my Meritorious Service Medal with three oak leaf clusters and numerous other awards, I am the recipient of the U.S. Air Force Air Medal and the U.S. Air Force Air Achievement Medal for my actions during Operation Enduring Freedom. I am a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and California State University.
