About Me

Hi everyone, I was born and have lived my whole life in Maryland. Growing up, I was into sports, especially baseball. I also enjoyed strategy and role playing games along with reading. The Martian Chronicles by Edgar Rice Burroughs was one of my favorites. When my baseball career didn’t pan out, I turned to coaching youth baseball. Later, I met my beautiful wife and had two very talented children of my own. When my wife joined the church choir, I started going to hear her sing, she has a wonderful voice. After a while, I actually started listening to the sermons and at the age of forty, became a Christian. God used my passion for coaching youth and I became the youth director. Soon afterward, I was ordained as a deacon and ended up filling in for the pastor several times behind the pulpit. I continued to enjoy reading sci-fi fantasy and when I found a story I enjoyed, I would imagine how a Christian character would fit in. This gave me plenty of ideas and even though I never was good at writing in school, at the age of sixty one I decided to sit down at the computer and put them together to see if I could get enough for a book. Using a Christian main character, I was able to incorporate lessons and studies from my teaching and sermons. Voyages of the Terrapin; Origins was my first book, and finding that I enjoyed writing, kept going. Now, with retirement coming soon I look forward to doing more.
