I currently live in New England (since 1987) though I've spent the majority of my youth throughout the Midwest. I was born and mostly raised in Ohio but have also lived in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Virginia and now in Rhode Island. Along the way I've worked in a variety of high tech related businesses in a variety of functions. I've changed careers at least 3 times and contemplating making yet another jump. My recent reading activity has dramatically increased with the advent of e-Readers and e-Reader software on my phone and iPad. It gives me the abiliy to take a book anywhere without the bulk of a physical book. I have had numerous hobbies over the years which include writing. My first novel, Alchemy, Sorcery & Magic: A New Age Begins is the first of what is projected to be a 5 volume set and I have the outlines of several more books that I'm currently working on in a variety of genres. Outlines span Mystery, Science Fiction, Autobiographical, and a Mathematical concept white paper on calculating a predicted first pass yield for establishing production baselines. So many hobbies/projects, so little time!: )
