About Me
I started writing short stories as a teenager, filling notebooks without really knowing why. Then life got busy. The notebooks went into storage. For years, I didn’t write anything.In 2024, I decided to stop waiting.I wrote Dead Roads: No Place Left to Run, finishing it in May 2025 after more drafts than I care to admit. Since then, I’ve completed several first drafts of new books and continue building worlds that lean into horror, survival, and the unknown.I’m also the creator of ShadowWolf Studios, where I work as a game designer and programmer, developing games and apps that bring stories to life in a different way. Whether it’s through code or on the page, I’ve always been drawn to building worlds people can step into.Outside of writing and development, my wife and I chose a different path. We sold everything, became debt-free, and took to the road. Now we live as nomads, traveling full-time and chasing a life built on freedom, creativity, and experience.These days, I write not just to tell stories—but to prove that it’s never too late to start and to help others finally begin theirs.
