It all began in 3rd grade with my teacher reading us Tom Swift novels during rest time. From then on I knew what I wanted to be. My favorite movie is October Sky because I lived it. Built rockets in high school though I've never worked for NASA..I've spent 40 years in the aerospace industry though only work a small part of it on space related rockets. I've been writing since 4th grade and have finally published my first novel, "Empire's Passing". Living the dream.
