My life is a wonderful adventure. Being a husband and father has been, by far, the most wild and rewarding part. In the past, I have been a paratrooper (82nd Airborne Division), a therapist working with children (Master of Science, Social Work), and an engineer (Bachelor of Science, Computer Science and Engineering).
Writing is a full time career, now that my son and daughter are both college students.
