Since I've been on this website for a year and a half now and this space has remained empty, I thought I might as well do something with it, so here goes: I'm a divorced father of two girls (yikes!) living in north-central Illinois, a devoted Cardinals fan in the midst of Cubs country. By night I work in the industrial sector, but by day I use this site to attempt to do something creative. Most of the things I write is science fiction (I have a passion for theoretical physics, although I have no hope of truly understanding it) but I will attempt other genres if my muse inspires me.
