About Me

about us image I was born and raised an Army brat, spending many years living in different states, always on the move, always making new friends, always trying to fit in while finding my own path. I was raised on movies and video games across every imaginable genre and style, and the stories I write reflect that. I'm also a happily married fella and have been for over a decade. I and my wife Krista don't have any children, but the love we shower on our many dogs and cats fills our lives with joy. Along with writing, I'm also a podcaster. My show, the Dead Robots' Society, was created in 2007 to be a voice for aspiring writers trying to hone their craft and learn about publishing. It has twice been a finalist for a Parsec Award, and it's been host to many amazing conversations with people from all across the publishing industry. I'm also a co-host on The Hollywood Outsider, a weekly podcast about movies and television.
