About Me

Hmm, not a lot to say. Programmer by day for a banking software company, aspiring writer by night, dad & hubby 24/7, AutoCAD draftsman and jack-of-all trades as the need arises. Lived in Las Vegas for six years working in a casino by day, and playing keyboards in a rock band at night (the hair was somewhat longer back then, lol), before moving back to my home town in southwest Missouri.
I love sci-fi and fantasy, computer gaming, NFL football, classic rock, and renaissance fairs. I've recently finished writing my first fantasy novel and started on a second. You can find my first one, From a Far Land, at Amazon.com here . I'd love to be able to write for a living!
I also traveled across the country marching with the Sky Ryders Drum and Bugle Corps out of Hutchinson, Kansas in the summer of '82. I'd love to hear from anyone who was in the corps that year. The link takes you to the Sky Ryders alumni website.
Although I think I'm pretty easy to get along with, I'm kind of quiet and I suppose I can be a little hard to get to know. I'll answer just about any question I'm asked, but I'm not the best at starting conversations. So, if you wanna know something, ask.
(Hmmm, maybe there was more to say than I thought. Then again, maybe I'm just long-winded, hehehe.)
This is the logo for a discontinued group, but a friend said she liked the pic, so I'm keeping it here. :-)
