Co-founded Wayward Raven Media, an independent comic book company. Creator/Writer/Editor of comic books and contributed rewrites to a Wolverine one-shot for Marvel Comics once. Published poet. Bass player. Short story editor. In the theatre of the absurd, I've learned to be sillier.



Penned more than a few novels, one is available: The Cell. This is a YA paranormal novel chronicling the loss and gains of a young comic book artist after his best friend and artistic hero dies. He gets a call from beyond the grave on his cell phone. A quest to regain confidence ensues while a nutty professor enters the fray. 



I travel to comic book conventions to exhibit with my company and even wrote a memoir about it but never finished as I had to take time off to provide home health aid and life management (finances, appointments, legal, and personal requests) for my mother who after years of surgeries, radiation, and chemo succumbed to cancer. It was not the first time my life was interrupted by a health issue. The only solace I have is my writing now. The realm of sex, love, and companionship has been locked away from me. The other great battle in my life is depression and anxiety, which I try not to feature too heavily in my compositions. 



I have a degree in English Literature and am a fair cook. Craft beer is a weakness as are my dogs Ziggy and Snickers. 



What else? How about odd things? Okay: my grandmother's first cousin was the famous golfer William/Billy Campbell. He was the actor Brad Dourif's step-father. Lastly, Frank Herbert's Dune was the novel that made me want to write in the first place. Well, tried to be amusing in this but obviously failed. Hope that doesn't put you off too much.
