I am the father of seven soccer-crazed kids and a director of engineering for a U.S.-based global aerospace company. I played soccer and track in school, coached soccer as an adult, and besides reading books and chasing my kids all over God's creation, I enjoy the great outdoors and gardening. I was born on a dairy farm in Connecticut, raised in rural upstate New York, resided in both Ohio and Florida, and have been a full-time resident of Colorado for the past 21 years. HAPPENSTANCE has allowed me to achieve my life-long goal to write a novel, and I am already planning on continuing the series with Blake Thompson and his crack SEAL team.
