I came to the United States from Canada in 1996, and have lived in (or near) Toronto, Detroit, Denver and Seattle. I currently make my home in the Pacific Northwest, with my wife and two young children. I earn my living as an Application Architect for a small software consulting firm in Seattle. Writing has always been my hobby, but it has really picked up steam in the last two years, thanks to the support of my wife, Lisa, and a long rail commute that enables me to write at least an hour a day.

When not working, writing or playing with my kids, I like to garden, read and watch football.

I am a member of the Pacific Northwest Writer's Association. Some of my favorite authors include Bernard Cornwell, SM Stirling, Stephen King, Dan Simmons and John Grisham.
