All my life I've looked at the stars and wondered what had happened to make us what we are. Self-award, self-centered, the rulers of our universe, or maybe we are deluding ourselves with a myopic view of one little solar system.
I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Cashton Wisconsin; milking cows, baling hay, and playing football. After a long day of farming and maybe a few innings of ball, my brothers and I would sit out at night and dream about the possibilities of life out in space (and maybe the girl next door). We'd study the Milky Way, the stars, the cloud of light that shown down from millions of glowing suns, and believe that someday we would have the chance to go look for ourselves.

After earning my physics degree from the University of Wisconsin, I enlisted in the Air Force and served as a B52 electronic warfare officer during the Vietnam War. I later joined the North Dakota Air National Guard's Happy Hooligans as a weapons systems officer flying in F101 and F4 fighter aircraft.
A short stint as a high school teacher in Fargo ND was followed by a permanent move to Colorado where I managed a variety of R&D projects that ranged from electronic security to nuclear instrumentation and nuclear and hazardous waste treatment and disposal. After retirement, I launched a new endeavor as a writer. I have completed seven novels; three action/thriller and four science fiction. I'm a member of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and the 93rd Street Irregulars critique group in Westminster Colorado.
