I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a geek from Texas. Really that about sums me up. I love all things film, music, comics, and tech. I am a husband and father of wonderful twin boys. I write FutureMAN's House of Cool and I'm expanding my writing into other areas.

I am currently writing a comic book series with a friend of mine. We have most of the story outlined and a script for the first issue. Right now we are looking for an artist that would be interested in working with us. As soon as we finish our outline and get this first issue in the can we are going to start submitting it to several publishers for consideration.

My Interests

Spending time with my family, movies, music, comic books, gaming, Heroes, Lost, celebrity gossip, and random tidbits of pop culture trivia.

I'd like to meet:

Artists who want to work on a comic book.

This book is not your typical cape and cowl adventure. This is an alternate history of America set in the late 1700s. There will be a lot of Native American mythology explored. Fantastic battle sequences. Wooly Mammoths (remember, this is an alternate history). If you are interested and would like to talk with us about the project please contact me at [email protected] .
