I am a retired Alaska State Trooper, now enjoying a variety of hobbies from my lakeside home near Wasilla, Alaska. My interests include a deep love for reading, whether it be sci-fi, fantasy, literary fiction, or even religious non-fiction. I have also explored my passion for writing, having authored three novels, including a young adult fantasy duology and the first book in a crime thriller series. I am currently immersed in writing my fourth novel. Besides writing, I enjoy sharing my thoughts on books through quirky reviews on Goodreads and my personal author website. I also enjoy travelling the world with my wonderful wife, woodworking, and playing the guitar.
