Reading probably saved my life. Fatherless at a young age, I wasn't doing well in school. I read the entire Hardy Boys series in 4th grade and my Iowa Basic Skills score jumped from border-line retarded to above average.

Been reading ever since. I mix genres, fiction and non-fiction. I even like to read product manuals and user guides. Coincidentally, writing has been a large part of my career. Mostly technical and marketing copy writing, but it's all good.

Graduated from Texas State with a BA in Int'l. Studies, then received an MS in Telecommunications from the University of Colorado. So I have a blend of liberal arts and technical studies, which might explain my affinity for writing the techno-thriller genre. ...more

My Winter Marathon

I lined up alone Sunday morning for the 2026 Austin Marathon. I feared the weather would be too warm, but it was just cool enough at the start in the upper 50s with a strong breeze. Still, the 80% humidity had me sweating bullets after the first mile.

My brother Steve, sisters Sandy and Nan, wife Karen, nieces Brook and Michelle, and a friend Jim were there as well to walk the 5K an hour
