I was born and grew-up in Duluth, Minnesota where I received my BA Degree in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota, Duluth. It was also during that time that I received my black belt in Tae Kwon Do from the Karate North schools. The ironic thing was, in college I avoided writing classes like the plague and took only the two classes that were required. After college, I moved down to the Twin Cities of Minnesota and began my career as a computer programmer. My current title is Senior Software Engineer, UNIX Development Lead.



My greatest influence in writing comes from the old black-and-white monster movies. They had no great special effects as exist today and had to have a good story line. Though many may find those old movies a bit campy, I still enjoy them to this day. 

My current novels Dark Carnival and Messiah (published by iUniverse.com) are now available through online book sellers like Amazom.com. You can also try asking for it at your favorite local bookstore.
