IT professional by day, author by night...

I've always had a great love of science fiction, having been introduced to it at a young age. I grew up in picturesque Tuolumne county, in northern California, in the Sierra mountains. After obtaining my bachelor's degree in Astronomy from San Diego State University, I returned to the IT world to make a paycheck, but have been writing steadily since. When not writing and working, I can be found at rivers, lakes, or streams, fishing. Recently I have found myself back in the mountains again, living in Tuolumne county with my wife and two precocious shih-tzus.
