Biography: I was born in the industrial outskirts of Flint, Michigan in 1969. My father was an auto-worker, and we enjoyed the typical life of an overworked and underpaid lower/middle class family. 
 
I loved writing and creating stories as far back as I can remember. I attribute this to the wonderful stories my Grandfather would tell to my siblings and I when we were young. He always had a wonderful tale of discovery, and adventure that made one want to pack their gear and head in to the unknown. 
 
I wrote short stories and skits for my classmates and I to perform in elementary, which our teacher would occasionally allow us to perform for the rest of the class. 
 
By the time I reached middle school, I had adventures burned into my mind, from my grandfather's stories as well as from hours of sci-fi adventures in cinema and on television. Captain Kirk's jaunts through imagination, as well as Lost in Space, Star Wars, and the like, all fueled my creativeness. I will never forget when I watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for the first time in the theater. Adventure was calling me. 
 
I currently live in Northern Michigan with my wife and six children.
