About Me

Born and raised in scenic Uniontown, Pennsylvania, I got my first taste of darkness and the unexplained in the Appalachian Mountains listening to the folklore from generations of pioneers. These legends and lore hit close to home, and opened my mind to the unseen world that exists. In conquering these possibilities, I dove into the different facets of the unexplained by researching everything from ghosts and hauntings to bigfoot sightings. A path that eventually led to Haunted Times Magazine.

In all, I have published two books, the non-fiction Searching the Abyss dealing specifically with Cryptozoology and Walking Before Dawn, the creative poetic look at the darkness and unexplained. I have also had articles published in Mysteries and FATE Magazines and today I continue to help Haunted Times Magazine grow into the top paranormal publication available serving as Senior Writer and Editorial Director.
