I was born on October 3rd, 1960, and grew up in Steelton, Pennsylvania, a small steel mill town located four miles southeast of Harrisburg. Influenced by television shows, comics, magazines, and my vivid imagination, I developed a passion for the enduring genres of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and mystery.
              My favorite authors include London, Ray Bradbury, Rudyard Kipling, Ira Levin, Stephen Gilbert, William Peter Blatty, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and William F. Nolan.
              In the late '80s and early '90s, I attended numerous writing conferences and participated in various writing groups both online and offline, earning a Certificate of Merit for my poetry. I have published short stories and poetry in small press magazines, mainstream anthologies, and college publications.             
                 In March 2020, I released my first book, All Things Truly Wicked, a collection of 11 short stories. Now residing in Harrisburg, I am working on novels, novellas, and another short story collection.
              A former member of the PA National Guard, I am retired from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and currently work as a customer service representative, as well as a local paranormal researcher/investigator and podcaster.
           You can find my book, All Things Truly Wicked, on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and Apple.
