I started writing when I was 13 because I wanted to tell my own sci-fi stories. My writing has taken a lot of different forms since then, but it’s always been there.

I live in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the city where Samuel Slater built his mill that started the American Industrial Revolution. The mill building is still here, and I run past it a few times a week on a route through downtown.

When I’m not working, I like to read, learn about history and science topics like rocketry, and make masks and sculptures. I still like sci-fi, both as a reader and writer.
