About Author

is the pseudonym that I write my thriller novels under. I am a graduate of the California Institute of Technology and hold an advanced degree in physics. I worked 20 years in the aerospace industry as a physicist developing mathematical algorithms to control satellites and space probes. My final effort in this field was in support of the space probe Cassini which went out to Saturn. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the resultant recession in aerospace in the mid-1990s, I changed careers and made a living for the next 20 years as a successful professional gambler. I utilized my mathematical and analytical abilities to maintain a constant edge over the casinos which ensured a profit for every month of those 20 years. Now I live with my family, including my young grandson, in southwest Virginia where I pursue my literary career while operating the paint mixing computer at a local home improvement center.
