I have a wide variety of interests and hobbies, and I like to boast that I am as much a geek as I am anything else. My love of nerdy things -- playing video games on my Xbox and PC, reading, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, various animes, developing original characters with indepth backgrounds and stories --is just as strong as my love for the outdoors -- camping, shooting, hiking, fishing, preparedness, running, riding my motorcycle -- which is just as strong as my crafty side -- sketching, candles, leatherwork, jewelry, repurposing items for household décor. When I become so enamored with a universe and its characters, I am usually inspired to create my own original characters and write them into that universe. I've got a bit of a dark side, so many times that will shine through in my writing.
