I'm a Chicago area native who's been writing for more years of his life than not. My specialities include sub-genres of fiction, including action/adventure, fantasy, game design, sci-fi, and speculative fiction. My other interests include (in no particular order) RPGs, vidya games, idioms, apocalyptic hyperbole, mental health awareness, my fiance, mutilating or inventing English words, nit-picking grammar while simultaneously vivisecting it, avoiding political news, and funny memes.
