: About Me

I love to write but who here doesn't? I might say that it doesn't make me special but as writers and composers we are an odd bunch. Everyone of us is different. I love to read as much as I love to write too. Some of my favorite authors are Lee Child, Patrick O'Brian and I'm just getting in to David Ignatius.

I've spend a good deal of my life in emergency services and most of the fiction I write is related to police work. I've also had some military experience (USMC) so I do a bit of that as well.

I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania in the lovely Pocono Mountains. I graduated from the university of Miami, Florida and the police academy at Lackawanna College. In 2008 I won first place for screemplay at the Pocono Mountains Film
Festival and I am currently making a living as a film writer.
