I grew up in Salt Lake City and graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor's degree in engineering. My wife, Marilyn, and I have five children and fifteen grandchildren. Together we enjoy camping, hiking, travel, and family get-togethers. I love to read, and enjoy most genres, particularly murder mysteries and science fiction. In my quiet time, I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, genealogy, and emergency preparedness. My career as a project manager took me to several countries around the world, and multiple industries and specialties, including electric utilities, nuclear power plant construction, water management, global mining, and aerospace, with each of those experiences contributing to my interest in, and the broad perspective needed to write this story.
