About Me

Me. Me. Me. It's always about me! Well, if it must be that way, here goes: I'm living in Tempe, AZ with my girlfriend, Aimee, and our two cats. I have a masters in Writing, which is my passion. I'm working hard on getting my young adult novels published. I recently had an article published in Listen Magazine, and I was taken on by an agent who will be representing at least one of my novels (and hopefully all of them). He's the same agent who represents Bruce Coville (My Teacher is an Alien), so I'm feeling pretty good about the match. I just took a job writing scripts for a call center in Mesa, which means I'll be responsible for scripting what the operators say when you call to order your favorite infomercial products. It's not exactly the next great American novel, but it puts food on the table so I have the strength to write more books!

My Interests

Writing. Reading. Hiking. Weight lifting. Frisbee. Movies.

I'd like to meet:

Louis Sachar, J. K. Rowling, JRR Tolkien (this one might be a little tricky), Jerry Spinelli, David Almond, and just about any other famous writer out there.

Music:

Mostly alternative with a dash of classic rock and a spice of Billy Joel for taste.

Movies:

Airplane. Back to the Future. Anything by Mel Brooks or the Zucker Brothers. The Marx Brothers. Star Wars. Almost any Ben Stiller flick. The occasional indy drama just so I can pretend to be sophisticated.

Television:

Malcolm in the Middle. South Park. X-Files. Roswell. 4400. (Yes, I've been sucked into Sci-fi on DVD!)

Books:

Holes...the best middle-reader novel ever written! Anything by Garth Nix. Discworld. The Shadow Children Series. His Dark Materials.

Heroes:

He-Man. Who else do you need?
