edit data

I was born in Chicago and grew up in Oak Park. My 7th-grade English teacher got me into fiction writing with the short story contests he held in class on Fridays.

I live in Chicago with my wife Sara, kids Kairi and Rebekka, and too many animals.

I write fantasy and hardboiled fiction, tabletop RPGs, and history-related nonfiction.
