Greetings, and thanks so much for stopping by. I'm a civil engineer in beautiful Charleston, SC, and by a rather circuitous route, decided to try my hand at writing fiction. So here we go. I have a beautiful wife who constantly shows me the glorious side of life, a son who is a socialite, athlete and honor roll student all at once, and two dogs and two cats who are all mischievious and precious. In my spare time (which has decreased in size considerably), I also enjoy spoiling my wife rotten, fishing, reading, genealogy, sight-seeing through Charleston, the beach, and watching my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers.
