Hi!! I'm not a person with a micro-bio of fun quotes and bullet-point lists... So prepare to get to know me. 

I like to introduce myself as a Christian, Eagle Scout, student, writer, and gamer -- in that order. I'm an extremely chill guy with diverse interests so, seriously, we probably have something in common. If not, text me so we can find something. 

My greatest work is Blade of Erogrund, which is a complete fantasy novel available on both Wattpad and on Inkitt. After Blade of Erogrund, I have taken a lengthy hiatus doing mostly short stories. I also started Dusk Over Arcath, which is a story that precedes Blade of Erogrund by several thousand years in the same world. 

I am also an amateur game designer with one title in print, the tabletop role-playing game BLADE (no relation to the book referenced above). If you are interested in learning more about that, shoot me a message or grab a copy at the link under my bio. 

As for my music interests...
- Pop (Train, Imagine Dragons, One Republic, Twenty-One Pilots, etc.)
- Country (Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Rodney Atkins, Jake Owen, etc.)
- Rap (Tom McDonald, Eminem... pretty much no one else)
- Christian (Lauren Daigle, Skillet, NeedtoBreathe, Messengers, Newsboys, etc.)
ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS (for now): Last Goodbye by Billy Boyd, Sound of Silence by Disturbed, and 2002 by Anne-Marie 

Favorite TV Shows/Movies/Fandoms
- Psych
- Bones
- Star Wars
- the Silmarillion
- Interstellar 
- The Big Short
- Warhammer 40K 

Authors Who Influence Me Most...
- Brandon Sanderson (particularly the Stormlight Archive)
- C.S. Lewis (yes, he wrote fiction too. See the Space Trilogy) 
- George Martin (maybe avoid the show, but the books are gold) 
- J. R. Tolkien (don't love LotR books but have to respect his world-building)
- Christopher Paolini (not many like him, but he made fiction accessible) 

So thats me! Now I want to know YOU, so follow me so I know you're there or shoot me a message and we can talk. Happy reading!
