About the Author

I've always been a storyteller at heart.

Growing up in a small Connecticut town during the 1980s, while other kids played outside, I was inside writing elaborate tales about adventures that could never happen in our quiet town. I filled notebooks with stories, creating worlds far more exciting than the one around me.

My love of storytelling found an unexpected companion in technology. When my aunt introduced me to Photoshop in high school, I discovered I could tell stories visually—manipulating reality, making the impossible look real. Later, teaching myself HTML, CSS, and PHP felt like learning another form of narrative, where every line of code had to be perfect for the story to work.

In 2013, I packed up my Connecticut life and drove south to Orlando, trading New England winters for Florida's endless possibilities. That move was where everything clicked into place. I realized I didn't have to choose between my passions—I could use technology and design to enhance my storytelling, creating narratives that couldn't be told any other way.

These days, I'm focused on the stories themselves, using everything I've learned along the way to craft tales that matter. Whether I'm writing fiction, building worlds, or exploring new ways to tell stories, it all traces back to that kid who believed the best adventures were the ones you created yourself.

The medium may have evolved, but the mission remains the same: telling stories worth reading.
