edit data

I discovered science fiction at age ten when I read the Lensman series by E. E. Doc Smith, and instantly fell in love with the genre.

After graduating from San Jose State University with a business degree, I worked at Intel for twenty-five years, starting as a software developer and retiring early as a Director of Application Development.

My wife Carolyn and I are blessed with two wonderful children. I love the outdoors and go hiking or mountain biking every week. I am currently writing two science fiction series.

How does M90 Battle Armor work?

Welcome to my first Video Blog.

Several people asked for more information on M90 Battle Armor, so I made this video.
