| Introduction | Originally from California, I recently moved Vermont, where I live with my beautiful bride and two fabulous felines. By day I'm a finance geek, and by night I fight evil as a writer and film-maker. I’ve been published in Kitchen Sink, Morbid Curiosity, various places online including the online edition of Opium, and have appeared on stage at Mortified. I am fond of loud thrashy music, Star Trek, people with geeky glasses and cats. My vices include black coffee, apocalyptic thinking and Dido. |
