I'm a father of three awesome children, two self-serving cats, and some fish that don't like my cats. I'm also a Sports Therapist of 18 years and a Science Fiction author of 5 years. I grew up in Gladstone, Oregon, which is just outside of Portland, Oregon. I've lived in Japan, where I traveled around for about a year, learning the culture, language, and seeing as many temples as I possibly could. I now reside in Washington with my lovely partner, Lotus, my awesome children, those fish that hate my cats, and my holier-than-thou feline creatures. I'm really laid back, enjoy numerology, philosophy, and helping others.
