About Me I am not a very public person by any stretch, so putting together a bio for myself is a little…odd. At any rate, here we go. Though I have been several places across the United States over the years, I have always called the mid-south home. I was born and raised in Tennessee and reside there to this day with my wife and two children and our attempt at a small zoo of pets. The plan is to stay here until the kids are off to school and I hit the lottery. Then I can retire to my private island in Fiji and live out my days as a scantily clad beach bum.  My background is predominantly in design and quality and much of my adult life seems to revolve around the automotive and construction industries. I’ve done some interesting things so far, and met some interesting people. Some more interesting than others. Some you will meet in the pages of my books. Others you wouldn’t believe if I told you. Writing was not my passion. Despite what my high school literature teacher said, I was not very confident in my writing abilities at all. Reduction was not so much a calling to write as it was an annoyance bouncing around in my head for years. I finally decided to put it on paper and had fun doing it, so I decided to publish it. I enjoyed writing Reduction so much, and had enough encouragement from those that read it, I set my mind to a sequel; Further Reduction (I know, pretty original, huh?). I have to admit, I enjoyed developing the characters and plot lines so much more that my interest in writing has grown and I am considering pushing on with new material in a variety of genres. Stay tuned to this site and you can see what deviltry I am up to next. Thanks for stopping by.
