I have worked as a civilian contract mechanic for the US Army, a heavy equipment mechanic, a High School teacher, and currently work in high technology computer chip manufacturing. I have been writing science fiction and fantasy stories for enjoyment for over thirty-five years and have published four SF novels with my brothers; Dead Reckoning and Day of Reckoning, and Force of Reckoning, and Final Reckoning. We have also completed a collection of short stories Outward Bound. I have completed two solo novels, Forged by Betrayal and Music Box Murders. I enjoy coaching youth basketball, working on cars and doing woodworking when the time allows. I have three grown children and live in a small town in NW Oregon with my wife of 35 years.
