My writing career started in fifth grade when my elementary teacher started to read 'Treasure Island', and used a pirate accent. I started to doodle on my notebook, and soon started to write. I was born in Brooklyn, NY, raised on Long Island and moved to Indiana in 1989. I am one of nine, and I am a natural born triplet. Growing up with so many siblings led me to seek solace with my paper and pen. I soon wrote stories, plays and two novellas by the time I was sixteen. One day, after school, an older brother accidently threw out all of my writings. I didn't start writing again until I was eighteen and dated a girl. Since then I have published two books of unconventional poetry, wrote countless short stories, a medical thriller, one hundred and fifty articles online, and have published the second book of Arcadis in the fantasy genre.
