Welcome to the inner workings of a twisted mind!
For the past twelve years, I have found a cathartic passion in artistic endeavors. I've tried my hand at painting (which ended when my "moon" was fondly compared to a 2-year-olds version of the Death Star) and woodworking (at which point I realized I should not be allowed around power tools), before finally settling on writing. Over the past decade my writing has gained a certain level of complexity and maturity, which is a direct result of my own maturing while serving in the United States Army. I'm now an Army Major with multiple combat and humanitarian deployments. I've found a balance in my writing between the realism of war (as seen in the Brink of Distinction series), difficulties of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (as seen in Rage), and the complexities of maintaining relationships (which is prevalent in all my writing).
I encourage you to explore my writing and the inner workings of my mind. As always, I am forever open to you, as a reader, to ask questions and get brutally honest answers in return.
