Bio 

I was born in Savannah, Georgia, raised partly in Oxnard, California and mostly in rural Texas outside of El Paso. I graduated high school with a class of 24 out of Fort Hancock, Texas and joined the Navy immediately after that. I enjoy creative writing, playing video games and basketball, and reading and watching science fiction entertainment.
