He grew up in Minnesota and has lived there hisentire life. (Although he loves to travel.) He has eight siblings and fallsright in the middle. He liked to entertain them with stories even when he wasvery young. Mostly to keep his older brother's from picking on him, or to keephis younger siblings entertained. He's had many experiences, both good and badin his life. It's given him a lot of opportunities to get differentperspectives on life, and convert those perspectives into characters in hisstories. He's a people person, and thinks everyone has at least one story totell. He often imagines upon meeting people for the first time what kind ofstories they might have to tell, just by their looks, mannerisms, or character.He decided to start writing as he'd been carrying several stories around in hishead for a while. His only hope is that people have as much enjoyment readinghis stories as he does creating them.
