I grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Fresh out of high school, I had a desire to experience the world so I enlisted in the U.S.A.F. Ten years later, after seeing nearly all of Europe, I left the military and returned home to my family. Settling in New Kensington, which sits along the Allegheny River roughly 15 miles north of Pittsburgh, I returned to college.
Graduating from Penn State in 1992, I began my career in Electrical Engineering. I still work as a Senior Electrical Engineer for a firm in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. However, my true passion is writing. I began writing in 1985, starting with the novel “The Medallion”. This tale sits unfinished as I shifted in 1988 to the first installment of this series “Realm of Shadow.” Both are epic tales of dark fantasy.
My work is not limited to fantasy; I loves horror, supernatural thrillers, and sci-fi. My true love is within the realms of horror and the supernatural. I believe my mind is a scary place to traverse, even for me at time. However, I allow some dark visions free reign when it comes to storytelling and of course Halloween decorating.
I have the tales “Spooky Hollow” published in “Tabloid Purpose IV”, "The Cathedral" published in "Deliver Us From Evil", and I am currently working on expanding my macabre short story collection and continuing on my novels.
I currently live in New Kensington PA with my wife Tammy, three children Elora (18), Shaylon (17), and Sebastian (10), and our Husky Luna (3).
