I was born January 20, 1976 in Northeast Pennsylvania just a few days after the Steelers won Superbowl X (so I'm a HUGE Steelers fan by birthright).

Since I was a child I always had a love for fantasy and sci fi and thanks to my Dad, I have seen the original Star Wars Trilogy and Conan the Barbarian more times then I care to admit. As a kid I spent every waking hour drawing and making up my own stories and adventures.

When my sister received Dungeons & Dragons as a Christmas present from my Dad, I was more enamored with fantasy then ever before and I have had a mind for the fantasic ever since. I eventually went on to found my own publishing company in 2000 called The Inner Circle with several of my closest friends.

At the time of this writing I still live in my home town of Hazleton, have two beautiful daughters named Kieryn and Elora, and I'm married to my amazing and supportive wife Christine. I'm planning on taking classes online at the Academy of Art University and attaining my Masters.
