I have some Gifts for you

About me:

I came up with the idea for The Gift when I turned 18 and my grandfather, Leo, died. I've spent the past 40 years trying to get this story out. Once I got it finished in October 2025, the rest just wrote themselves. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

My 4th book, The Transparent Gift - my characters took a very close parallel to the trans community. I really dedicate that book to the Trevor Project, and other services that help people in crisis. I have included actual links to the Trevor Project in that chapter. While the scenario presented was fictionalized, the empathy and genuine support they provide is real. I have had friends from all walks of life, and I love them all. IF you need help, PLEASE talk to someone. There are people out there who will listen and not judge.



I'm 58 years old, born and raised in Anaheim, California. I've been married to my wonderful wife since April 1 1998, I'm an IT Supervisor, a former wrestler who has been in the ring with the likes of Hulk Hogan and Giant Gonzalez, I ran a BBS in the mid late 90's called the Louvre BBS. I have worked in every aspect of computing from hardware, software, networking, cabling, programming. I have a little black kitty named Frankenstein, I've been to and sprinted through the Louvre gallery in Paris (literally running), I set a bar record by drinking 132 shots in one evening.

Some of the above is true, I'll let you guess which ones are, and are not :-)

I'm sorry that I do not exist on Social Media, I genuinely am not a social person, but that being said, I'm happy to talk to anyone about my books.
