"Originally from Chicago, I, along with my wonderful wife Tracy, now make my home about 35 miles north in a little haven of subdivisions and man-made lakes called Lindenhurst. By day, I perform and coordinate largely incomprehensible tasks for a leading legal publishing firm. I've been at this hobby/obsession of writing for over 20 years now and number among my influences Robert E. Howard, Hunter S. Thompson, and Clark Ashton Smith. I've also co-written several plays, two of which have made it to the stage in Chicago. I am thrilled beyond all earthly reckoning to be a part of Pulp and Dagger Webzine!"
