About Me

I've lived my entire life in Indiana. I'm approaching my 30s still without any clear idea about what the hell I want to do with my life. I've worked many jobs, including a produce clerk, a web developer, a board operator and reporter for a public radio station, a writer, and a contractor. Nothing has stuck, but it's been a fun trip so far.

If you'd like to pay me several gazillion dollars as an advance for my awesome science fiction trilogy, let me know. I'll probably say yes.

Oh, and buy my wife's book: Super Fun Activity Book for Kids .
