Hello! You know, I hate talking about myself, but I do love talking about why I write. I always have crazy ideas floating through my head, whether it be about undercover chickens, kids who discover the cure for some deadly disease, or other strange concepts that I will eventually get from head to keyboard. I was born in NYC in the late 1960's (so I remember when "Scooby Doo" actually was good). I graduated from Syracuse University in the 1990s, and moved out to the MidWestern US when I figured making sandwiches for a living wasn't my intended purpose in life. I met my wife while at a club called "Gators", and I have two great kids, including one with special needs, which makes for special times most days. As for what I like to read, anything that will take me on a grand adventure works for me...so "The Hunger Games" series is a big plus. When I am not writing (or commenting on the world around me), I am a huge movie fan (summertime is my favorite time of the year), I collect music (over 19k on my iPod, with Prince being my favorite) and cheering for (and banging my head against the wall) my favorite baseball team, those 27 time World Champion Yankees (hope there aren't any Red Sox fans reading this :) Well, that's it. Simple guy who hopes to write books that entertain you, all the while hoping to one day make a living out of it.
