What is it
I write essays about the frontier of human experience; where culture collides with the unknown. Where the technical and scientific meet the mythic and religious.
The frontier of ideas is where the defining issues of an era emerge, constantly changing, evolving, moving. The current pull from the frontier seems to sit somewhere in the space of consciousness and emerging technology.
So, essays primarily span the following:
Culture, consciousness, and technology - How new understandings about psyche, soul, and emerging tech change how we view ourselves.
Worldbuilding - Writing about technologies, magic systems, themes, societal structures, and anything else that is gripping my interest and can be found as part of the worlds in the sci-fi and fantasy stories I write.
Personal essays - My inner world and my life experiences. I write these essays to understand myself and to help shed light on an inner struggle that might be useful to someone going through a similar problem. Man is a microcosm through which we can understand the collective.
Updates about my life and any book updates here, too.

Why I write
I never thought I'd be a writer.
It's something I grew into as I experimented with creative paths outside my career. The more I wrote, the more I wanted to write. Eventually I started writing fiction, and the pull became so strong that I wanted to build my career around it.
I believe stories can have an incredible impact on those who experience them. I aim to write meaningful stories that impact people’s lives for the better: whether that’s simple entertainment or radical transformation.
I don't know exactly how far I will take it, or exactly all the types of things I will write, but that mystery is part of the fun.
About me
A few things about me:
A well-done show, movie, or book is one of my favorite parts of the human experience.
Spending time with my wife and our American Staffordshire Terrier, Jax, is one of my favorite parts of the day.
Nothing is more disappointing to me than untapped potential.
Obsessed with golf.
An optimist.
A vivid dreamer, deriving lessons and important information from dream interpretations.
Dropped 138 nukes in MW2 (2009) multiplayer.
Obsessed with the self-improvement since my late teens, especially exercise, psychology, and longevity.
Studied accounting and became a CPA in June 2021. Professionally, I have spent my career in technology risk management (6 years as of July 2025) and I left the corporate world to write fiction full time.
