My Bio
Well, you navigated to this page and are reading this text, so obviously you want to know more about me. Here is the meat of it.

I am a married man with a toddler son. I am from California, but have been living in Reno Nevada for some time now. This is where the work is, What is work you ask? I am a GPS / GIS specialist working in the mining industry. I know, I know, I am one of those barbarians helping to disfigure mother earth. So to all the yuppies out there who feel this way I ask; is there a one of you who is willing to part with their home, shoes, automobile (or bicycle if that is your style...props), or God forbid their iPhone? In short, all advanced civilization that ever has been and ever will be requires mining (and lots of it). Now then, if you still think my line of work horrible, that's is cool by me. just think of it then as a necessary evil.

In my spare time when I am not pursuing my artistic endeavors, I enjoy a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. I will of course start with said activities that are culturally acceptable for a man my age. Hiking, camping, soccer, tennis, long strolls on the beach, paintballing, definitely NOT snowsports, skeet shooting is a blast, & some water-sports. As for my more nefarious hobbies, the top of the list would have to be video games, followed closely by tabletop gaming (yes kids that means Dungeons & Dragons and other such related games). I always love a good movie or to catch a live show. I have really enjoyed the broadway shows I have seen and plan to see a bunch more.

Now, onto the important stuff. I am an artist, better than some, worse than others. It is my passion, my love, and what I am best at. I have done a lot in my 29 years and have much good to say for my life thus far. Yet with all that I have done, I have never truly pursued my greatest talent. Sure I went to school and studied art with the intention of a degree, but I quickly discovered that to be a waste of my time. It took relentless nagging on the part of my wife, and my older brother showing me the intoxicating world of commercial art for me to finally get my act together. This here is my first foray into the big world I have been avoiding all my life. Now sit back, and enjoy the fruits of my labour. It has been a long time coming.

For all of you RPG geeks out there I will simply say this: If you have not given Dark Souls a try, then do.  If you have played this masterfully constructed work of art, then kudos. Below is a brief story I wrote up then submitted to my gaming group for our Pathfinder campaign.  I have based it largely off of the world and lore of Dark Souls, and I find myself thoroughly enjoying the experience of filling in some of the story driven gaps (intentionally left out in the game) to further the lore and characters for my players.  This is one such story, enjoy. The Infamous Darkwraith: Those who are wise fear not the dark, but that which reside

Ok, so I am going to give this journal idea a go... First off, thank you all for showing your support and giving me such great feedback on my work.  I will be continuing to add more work to my profile.  I have a few differ projects running at the present, so there should be a fair amount of new content coming to my page.  I just finished several commisioned pieces for the book Relics & Wonders: Lombard's Amulet.  The printed novel is now available on createspace.com and amazon.com.  The ebooks are available for Apple, Nook & Kindle devices.  Below, I am showcasing the prologue for this new novel.  Enjoy.
