I am an author, a father, a scout leader, a former school crossing guard, a home brewer, a huge Cal fan, and a soccer player and coach. I currently day-job at Wells Fargo helping people give money away to charity.
This site serves two purposes: First, to introduce you to me. Second, to link to my blog, my Facebook page, and my Twitter account.
About the illustrations: They all come from my self-illustrated version of The Unlucky Children of Marrow Moor, a compendium of cautionary tales. It has not yet been published, so you have to ask me to see it.
My fiction and poetry have been published in
The Extinct Doesn't Mean Forever Anthology
Thereby Hangs A Tale
The First Line
THEMA
Caesura
2009 San Francisco Writers Conference Anthology

In addition, I won the January, 2009 flash fiction contest at the Clarity of Night blog, was selected Readers' Choice in the July, 2009 flash fiction contest at the same blog, and had a third story selected for mention in a ByLine Magazine contest.
My technical articles have appeared in EE Times, Multimedia Systems Design, and Embedded Systems Development. I wrote a college football column for two years at Scout.com but opted to retire from that to pursue more creative writing.
I have completed five novel manuscripts, and I am actively seeking representation for two of these: A middle grade adventure set in the Gold Rush called Andie's Gold, and a young adult dystopian with a working title of The Thirteenth Semper.
If you are looking for information about my former web development work, best to look in the portfolio section as well as my resume.
