I was born, raised, and educated in the heart of Appalachia, Southwest Virginia. I somehow earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech, the hardest thing I've ever done. Still stumbling through my career, I have done engineering, sales, marketing, and management.
Other than ten years in Seattle, Washington, I have lived in Virginia my entire life.
I am owner/manager of an industrial condominium in Christiansburg and is co-owner with his wife, Jane, of Pocahontas Press, a publishing firm specializing in regional Appalachian fiction and non-fiction.
I enjoy backpacking, motorcycling, bicyling, walking, and juggling.
My wife Jane and I have one grown daughter.

I also enjoy the process of bringing a fictional character to life, giving her personality, strengths, weaknesses, failings, and doubts. (less)
