I was born in Texas in 1986, and like my father before me, I've always been intrigued by science fiction. No matter where I am in life, I’m frequently imagining what the world of the future will look like. I try to put myself in the boots of someone who’ll be around decades or centuries from now and think about how events today are going to shape their lives. I started writing short stories in high school, at that tender age when emotions are high and most people are struggling to find their place. It was around then that I began working on my first novel. It was inspired by a PBS documentary, and I'm not ashamed to say that the first draft wasn't great. I spent years reworking the plot and characters and, I believe, making it better. Since I started, I’ve continued to write as often as I can. I may not always be able to plug away at a keyboard, but new characters and their stories are constantly forming in my mind. There are many more books that I’d like to write, and hopefully I’ll be able to share them with the world. I’m very grateful for any reader because they help make that possible. My main ambitions in life are to be thoughtful, to explore new places, and to encourage other people to do the same. I frequently use jokes and sarcasm at times when most people would opt not to. The pains of life seems less sharp when dulled with humor. Plus, it's cheaper than even the worst vodka. There are certain things that I take somewhat seriously. Among them is my desire to do whatever I can to make sure that this planet is a wonderful, or at least habitable, place after I'm gone. Not just for my son and his children, but for all the people, cyborgs, extraterrestrials, and hybrids who will eventually call Earth home.
