I write speculative fiction stories (fantasy, sci-fi, horror) with a focus on wonder, suspense, monsters, mystery, and consequences. My first published story, Escape From Wrath and Ruin, won the G.K. Chesterton Award in the Athanatos Literary Apologetics contest. The story is included in my debut book, Wrath and Ruin, which was published in 2016.

Narrative and characters come first when I write, but I also like to explore theology, philosophy, and worldviews in the themes and undertones. In my opinion, a good story entertains, but a great one makes you think as well. 

I've worked as a systems engineer on jets, helicopters, and trains. I'm also a certified apologist though Biola University. I love to teach, so feel free to contact me if interested in having me speak on topics related to writing, storycraft, or apologetics.

I live in Upstate New York with my wife, kids, and three corgis. One dog suffers from an overwhelming tennis ball addiction, another thinks she's in command of all other animals in a quarter mile radius, and the third is a cuddle junkie. The three of them keep me busy cleaning fur off my clothes.
