I was born in Houston, Texas, USA, in 1957. I grew up in Iowa Park and Odessa, Texas. I hold a B.S. in Life Science, and spent a total of five years undertaking graduate studies in Avian Ecology, Pre-Biotic Chemistry, and Medicine. During my career I worked as an analytical chemist, environmental chemist, ornithology field researcher, cancer research technician, network engineer, systems administrator, and information security special agent.

I have been writing for publication since the late 1970s. My 15-part hacker fiction series 'Chasing the Wind' was published on the Security Focus website from 2000 - 2002. I created a recurring satirical feature called ‘The State of the Hack Awards’ for the Hack in the Box website during the same era.

I was a finalist for the Robert Benchley Society Humor Writing Award in 2011 and a semifinalist in 2012. I was also a finalist for the 2012 Atlanta Review Poetry Competition, and my unpublished novella, 'Theopraxis' was a finalist in the 2012 William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition. I've been published in several humor anthologies and dark fiction. I was a columnist for ;login: magazine from 2006 - 2020. I have also been an invited guest author and panelist at several fantasy & science fiction cons.

I live in rural Wilson County, Texas with my wife of 30 years and, at current count, three cats. I have nothing whatever to do with AIs, LLMs, or smart technologies, unless you count my phone. Every last syllable of my writing comes from my own brain, often against my better judgment.
