I've written a couple of hi-tech thrillers based upon my experiences in the Air Force and the aerospace industry.  The first is called 'Cascade - The Last Flight of Endeavour,' about sabotage and an orbital debris strike on Nasa's International Space Station.  My friends tell me it's very well written and a great story.  You can find it on Amazon.com and Smashwords.  I had 6 years as an Air Force officer in Space Operations at Space Command and Systems Command, and 17 years in aerospace in various classified space and command and control programs, while later participating in the design and development of the Interanational Space Station.  The phenomena I've detailed in my book is real, and a catastrophe just waiting to happen.

My 18 yr old son told me that I was the most reasonable man he ever met and that when he had a decision to make he'd ask himself, 'what would dad do?' That tops any award or achievement I've ever gotten/earned.
