I began my professional career as a mechanical engineer after graduating from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Science Degree. My imagination naturally feeds my love for mechanical design, and the combination has allowed me to secure multiple US Patents in the field of robotics (see picture below). After discovering I enjoyed engineering technical writing, I joined the Florida Writers Association to hone my craft. I enjoy writing in several genres, but my current focus is on science fiction. After graduation, my passion became building and driving sports cars with the Sports Car Club of America. I captured several regional titles in the 90's and a National title in 2001. I currently reside in central Florida and am a member of the Florida Writers Association.
