I've spent the last twenty five years working in the corporate and government security field and spent a short time in the Caribbean, where I learned what true poverty--and true selflessness--really mean. I enjoy writing character-driven stories like Summertown, my enovel, as well as several short pieces of fiction. I try to infuse some humor into my tales, no matter how serious the subject matter. I have a somewhat broad taste in literature; my favorites being from authors such as C.S. Lewis, Ernest Hemingway, Larry McMurtry and Steven Havill, as well as Indie authors like Erik Ekstrom and Mike Pettit.  I've recently published a small collection of my short stories entitiled "Take a Peek at My Shorts".
