I am a grandfather (seven times over), a Splatterpunk Award-nominated and 666 (Sixie) Award-winning horror author, a photographer and videographer, a (former) musician, a News Producer, and an avid consumer of media. Originally from the Twin Cities in Minnesota, I spent most of my life in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In September of 2022, I moved from my long-time home in South Dakota to the Pacific Northwest, where I'm working as a morning News Producer for Good Day Oregon on KPTV/KPDX. It's a pleasure to meet you, maybe you could find the time to check out some of the things I've written. There's more on the way. There's always more! It never ends.
