I grew up in Ohio. The town was Eastlake, a quiet suburb about 30 miles east of Cleveland. I read A LOT during my childhood at the cusp of the 70's science fiction movement. I read anything I could get my paws on. I also was influenced by the Hammer Studio movies of the late 60's early 70's and any and all science fiction movies, as bad as they were back then. I read quite a bit of Bradbury, Dick, Nelson, Heinlein, and many others. Most of these great authors are now a part of the Trinity Series and I pay homage to them in my novels. I was encouraged to read all I could when I was younger and it really developed my affinity to science fiction and my love of John Carpenter style sci-fi/horror.

I started to write when I was young but I never pushed it much until college. Creative Writing classes were my favorite although I was a robot junkie by this time. I learned every aspect of robotics and programming while I continued to jot down ideas for stories in journals. I thought one day I might have to opportunity to actually write something I had never read. Tragic as it may seem, my opportunity to write began when I lost the use of my lower lumbar when I left the Navy and had to have ten surgeries and three fusions to fix it. Since these surgeries I have not been able to stand erect. So, I needed to do something positive with my life, fuse a tragedy into an opportunity, and I began writing everyday. That was five years ago and I have not stopped writing since my first surgery. I have twenty-eight book ideas ready, willing, and waiting to be written. Cobalt was conceived coming to me as a dream one night lying in bed. The entire Trinity Series flashed before my eyes and I immediately began writing notes in a journal. Always keep a journal with you wherever you go. Always.
