I'm a storyteller, a married father of three, and someone who believes that the best stories are hidden in the everyday moments of life.
My writing journey began in the most beautiful wayat bedtime, with three eager faces waiting for "just one more story." As a father of two girls and one boy, I found myself weaving tales from our daily adventures, turning ordinary moments into magical worlds. Those bedtime stories, inspired by my children's wonder and questions, became something extraordinary. They became *The Butterfly Touch*, *The Blooming Shadows*, *Mirrors of Aevoria*, and three more worlds waiting to be explored.
None of this would be possible without my wife, whose unwavering support and belief in these stories gave me the courage to share them beyond our home. She's been my partner in this journey, encouraging me to take the leap from family storyteller to published author. Her support allows me to pursue this passion while balancing my career and our busy family life.
By day, I'm a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer and a retired Chief Warrant Officer 3 from the US Army Reserves. I've spent years protecting systems, leading teams, and solving complex problems. But my most important mission is showing my childrenand readers like themthat they are capable of extraordinary things.
My books are young adult fantasy filled with adventure, growth, and the magic of discovering who you're meant to be. Every story I write is inspired by real life: the questions my kids ask, the challenges they face, the dreams they share, and the everyday moments we treasure as a family. I write to inspire them, to help them see their potential, and to remind them that courage, kindness, and curiosity can transform the world.
Since publishing my first book in November 2024, I've released six novels, each one a love letter to young readers standing on the edge of their own adventures. Whether facing shadows, discovering mirrors to other worlds, or skipping stones across mysterious lakes, my characters learn what my children teach me every day: that growing up is the greatest adventure of all.
To my three children: you are my inspiration. To my wife: you are my foundation. To my readers: thank you for joining our family on this journey. I can't wait to share what comes next.
