: About Me

In 1995, I went to Carnegie Mellon University as a computer science major.  Originally intending to study creative writing as a minor, I found myself attracted to the field of linguistics.  I toyed with changing my major to computational linguistics and eventually, in my second senior year, admitted that I did not enjoy computer science.  I switched my major to logic & computation, with a focus towards linguistics.

My school history tells the one thing about me that continues to be true to this day.  I never fully knew what I wanted to do with my life.  Only recently, after years of indecision have I realized that I have always had a passion for writing and words.  But wanting to do something and doing it aren't the same.  There is no manual for how to be a writer, at least no consistent one.  I am currently doing my best and learning as I go.

I am looking forward to the day that I can say to myself, "I am a writer". At this point in my life, I have a single credit in the Sword & Sorcery published product "Relics and Rituals". I have also sold a few stock articles on Helium, won a writing contest, and have had my writing showcased on two different web sites. That is a start. But, it doesn't make me a writer. For now, it makes me a slightly talented amateur.

I am patient and I am practicing. I continue to write and I continue to improve. So, today I am not a writer. But, some day I will be. For now, I simply hope that day is soon.

As of March 2010, I am the channel manager for the Role Playing Games channel.  If you are interested in the hobby and would like some direction, have some good ideas, or just want a sounding board, send me a message.

As of May 2011, I have had my first short story published in a short story Anthology called "Tales of Fortannis: Bard's Eye View."  If you like fantasy, look here for the E-book.
