Welcome to
My Story
From the time I was a young boy, I loved reading and telling stories. I grew up in northeastern Ohio in a rural area. When I wasn’t doing chores or playing sports (especially baseball) I loved to spend my time reading. No matter what time of the year. It was a way to pass the time when it was the dead of winter and too cold to venture outside. In the summer, I spent many a day in my tree house with books from the library or those ordered through school.
The local library even had a bookmobile that visited our neighborhood in the summer so I could continue finding new books to read. Mostly history. I loved stories of Daniel Boone, the Revolutionary War, The Civil War, and other tales of adventure in the early days of America. As I grew older, I became fascinated with more history from around the world, especially the former Soviet Union.
In college, my junior thesis was all about the Russian Revolution. I think I became so interested in it because we learned so little about it in history classes taught at the elementary and high school levels.
I’ve spent most of my career in technology, but now that I’m getting toward the end of my tech business (another 5-10 years) I’ve begun writing stories about things that continue to interest me. My first novel released in October 2026 is In Plain Sight: Nothing is What it Seems. The second novel is coming out before the end of November 2026. It is titled Iron & Ashes.
I have pages on this site devoted to each novel, and will continue to add to this list as more novels are published. You may purchase these books on Amazon. The links will appear on each page.
