About Me

One of my earliest memories is of seeing an Apollo moon-shot launch on television. That might explain my life-long fascination with astronomy and space travel. My father’s collection of old science fiction ensured that I grew up on a full diet of Asimov, Heinlein and Clarke.While getting my degree in political science at Brigham Young University, I took some creative writing classes. I wrote several short stories, and even submitted one for publication, but it was rejected. Having a naturally lazy disposition, I gave up on creative writing for over ten years.Those years were not entirely unproductive: I graduated from Baylor Law School, worked on a Congressional campaign in New York, and then took a job in Washington, D.C., with one of those special interest groups politicians are always complaining that other politicians are being influenced by.Then I quit the political scene to work as a web developer for a dot-com company in Utah, in order to be a part of the Great Internet Boom. Shortly thereafter – and I insist the events are not causally related – the Great Internet Bust began. I managed to keep my job, and still work there today.In 2002 I began writing fiction again, and in 2003 I attended Orson Scott Card’s Literary Boot Camp.A winner in the 2004 Writers of the Future Contest, I have had stories published by Analog, Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show, and Phobos Books.
