Grew up in 80's suburban Maryland watching every movie ever made. Loved to write -- and tell stories -- from an early age. Went into the Army at eighteen and traveled the planet, experiencing both good and bad elements of the world. After the military I wandered around for a bit, and even in my darkest years, I had the pen. Eventually I got used to the world (as used to it as I'm going to get), and crossed paths with my lovely wife. Nowadays work and family is my life, and I spend my spare time writing whatever comes to mind.
