Author Charles J. Marino was born in the Bronx, New York and holds a BS and MS in nuclear engineering from Columbia University.
His various occupations included bond and commodities trading on Wall Street, founding several small computer companies, and now writes sci-fi novels and short stories. He has more robots than friends, but they’re good ones.
The author makes his home in the mountains of America, where he helped the nice folks at SETI before the great fall, carves his own wooden chess sets, and plays bocci.
