About me

With over ten years experience in the Internet and wireless technology fields a good portion of my career has been spent composing and editing technical documentation. Between product manuals, white papers and technical magazine submissions I was called upon to create a heap of documentation at several companies. In addition to my authoring of technical works I've more recently served in the role of editor of product documentation, allowing me to approach the creation of content from a new an interesting perspective.

Inspired by the likes of Rad Bradburry, Aurthur C. Clarke and other visionary Science and Science fiction writers I've composed and published several short stories and novels in the sci-fi genre. Most recently I've been called upon to develop stories for science fiction based Role Playing Games, the mechanics of which are developed based on the storylines I create.

I serve my passion for history and current events with an unending appetite for books, articles and other media. Seldom am I found without some book on Medieval history, the Knights templar or military history in my hands. I've published several articles on the subject myself to much fanfare and hope to continue this tradition on Helium's channels.

A married father of two, I am always eager to share my experience and advice on the subjects of family and parenting. I troll the Helium channels constantly looking for new perspectives on the issues that affect me on a daily basis and I'm happy and proud to list myself among such a great collection of writers.

Despite the noble but fruitless efforts of Woodrow Wilson an attitude of vengeance and retribution smoldered on in Europe after the First World War. Countries that were hard hit by the German lead aggression, now victors in a long and bloody war set out to make Germany pay for its expansionist efforts. Imposing oppressive penalties on the German people, the victorious countries lead by France shatter the German economy and demoralized the defeated Germans. This devastation wrought on the German people result in a bitter and contemptuous subjugation that gave rise to the acceptance of the...
