More Stuff about Me
- I live in Austin, TX with my wife and two dogs. I have two sons, two daughters-in-law and am also the proud grandfather of 6 cats and a bird. I worked in the high-tech manufacturing industry for many years and now am pursuing my dreams of writing down the stuff that goes on in my head. I enjoy cycling, origami, wire tree art, video games and baking bread when not working away at a hot keyboard.

Writing and Art
l have always loved Origami - likely because my first memories are of living in Japan at Yokota Air Base. I have also always loved to escape into a book and have long harbored the rather common dream to write my own.
- I made 1000 cranes for both of my son's weddings and to support my brother in running for office.
- I started making wire trees as a way to display cranes and have come to like them as an art medium
- Currently working on a second novel (not a sequel)
- I love to bake bread and make it into entertaining shapes for those eating.
