I was born in the hot sultry City of New Orleans. Shortly thereafter, my parents decided that the heat and humidity of Louisiana was more than they needed to subject to a poor young soul and moved to Virginia. Since then, with only brief interuptions, I have lived in Virginia my entire life.

    My work habits and training have mostly been surrounded by my hobbies. I enjoy building things, whether it is a car, house, or just some gizmo that no one knows what to do with it. I have worked in the automotive industry and in construction. It is from this varied background that I have gleaned a important insight into the average person on the street. I use this in developing my characters. I hope that you can see a little of yourself in my stories.
