As a Children's Fiction Author: Something that I'm really striving to do is to create stories that both the child and reader can be interested in, either separately or together. Reading to children is proven to be a highly effective means to bond with a young child, so creating a world where both individuals can connect with something is my goal. As a Not-Children's Fiction Author: I'm in the Marines. I have a degree in computer science, but I have to say I don't use it much! In my free time, I really like writing short stories and I love producing music. I'm always learning something new with music and I always have fun and that's the point, right? Spending quality time with family while sustaining a day job and a few hobbies can be tricky, so I always try to make a point to try and include everyone in the things I like, as well as inject myself into their business!
