In 1988 he tried to fulfill his lifelong dream of a career in the Marines but ankle injuries in boot camp got him sent home after only six months with a relatively minor yet permanent medical disability that barred him from reenlistment. Having no other career plan for the future, he worked in a wide variety of fields (many simultaneously) including restaurant manager, military food service manager for the National Security Agency (chef to the spies), owned & operated a custom computer shop, worked as a carpenter, farmer, stage actor, lumberjack, tv commercial voice actor, Wilderness Rescue Certified Emergency Medical Technician, computer network manager, helpdesk supervisor, Boy Scout leader, IT training specialist, radio talk show host, computer forensics technician, and youth minister. After 9/11 he did get to realize part of his military aspirations, albeit in a much smaller role than he had hoped, when he joined the Alaska State Defense Force. He spent three years as a sergeant in 492nd Coastal Scouts patrolling and guarding the waters and coastline around Whittier Alaska and was named Alaska Soldier of the Year in 2003.
In case you still think he's just a pansy artist, he also happens to be an expert marksman with a variety of weapons and can bench press nearly 400 lbs.
This plethora of experiences has given him a background of actual hands on knowledge that can make a story come to life with details that others may miss.
He currently lives in Anchorage Alaska with his beautiful wife and their three sons.
