My Journey

Born in Mobile, Alabama, and shaped by years in Mississippi, Florida, and Oklahoma, I grew up under the long shadow of rocket science—my father’s vocation proving that imagination and engineering could share the same launchpad. A proud graduate of the University of Oklahoma, I served in the United States Air Force Dental Corps before building a career as a craniofacial pain dentist in Cape Coral, Florida with my wife and three children. Eventually, I traded drills and scalpels for pen and page, channeling precision into prose and melody instead of temporal mandibular joint disfunctions and dirty molars. Today, I craft an ever-expanding creative universe, weaving science and fiction, history, mystery, poetry, and music into a richly layered literary and sonic landscape.

Music

Prose Meet Sound

Original music blending my poetry with modern soundscapes.

Creative Worlds

Across genres, my work is bound by one thread: a drive to illuminate the past, imagine the future, and celebrate the wild, human stories in between.

Books

Where in the world have we been, you ask?
