I grew up in Victoria, Australia, and spent most of my childhood obsessed with science fiction. Shows like Robotech, Teknoman and Exo Squad were early influences in my life and got me interested in aircraft. As my father was an Airforce technician, the life of the armed forces has always been there.

I began writing at an early age, spending hours on my mother's digital typewriter creating new worlds, centered on spaceships or giant robots. I've a background in teaching martial arts, sales, management and communication. I now live with my wife in Perth, Australia, and still write about spaceships and giant robots.
