I have been a Christian for most of my adult life and have served as elder, deacon, Sunday school teacher for adults and youth, and prison ministry instructor. Professionally I have been an electronics engineer, a technical college instructor and a technical writer. I currently work for the Virginia State Supreme Court as a technical writer and trainer.

The past 20 years were spent studying and practicing the craft of writing fiction (both novels and short stories) for youth and adults. During that time I have written many articles, short stories and four novels for middle grade and young adult readers.

Happily married with 3 children, I have lived in New York, Germany, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I currently reside near Richmond, Virginia.
