: About Me

Bless the Reader of my mind through words,

Before I developed an interest in writing I was first an avid reader. Influences from literature and the world I've lived in give my writing it's unique flavor. In truth I've never written anything I enjoyed reading half as much as The Count of Monte Cristo, The Last of the Mohicans, Firestarter, or Dune. It is my sincere hope that if I keep writing that someday I might find the spark that gives me a great story to tell.

I've served in the U.S. military in two different branches and on two continents. I've spent a significant amount of time in the Middle East.

Autos > Cars The new technology of flying cars

1 of 1

There is nothing new about flying cars.  Famed WWII Ace and race car driver Eddie Rickenbacker predicted "Flying Auto's in 20 years" in July 1924 popular science magazine.  Beloved architect Frank Lloyd Wright also thought the future of personal travel would be in the air.  Many of his renderings show helicopter type vehicles sitting in lofty driveways. Arguably the first practical flying car was the Taylor Aerocar. The prototype was built and tested in 1949 and would see very limited production in 1951.  Aerocar designer Molt tried desperately his entire life to bring ...
