I was inspired to write books after watching the movie classic 'Lawrence of Arabia'. I thought how amazing it must be to write about your experiences and have them made into a movie. Then I thought how amazing it would be to write fiction books for people to enjoy. I was 14 years old then, and this marked the beginning of my journey to become a writer.

THE SANDMAN is a fictional thriller novel about a saboteur on a mission to destroy the nuclear reactor in Iran. It placed 1st Runner-Up for Fiction in the 2009 Military Writer's Society of America's Book Awards. I was inspired to write this story when I learned of the growing threat of war in the Middle East as Iran pursued its nuclear program.

THE SANDMAN is my first published novel and dedicated to my wife and son for their belief in me and support of pursuing my dream. I served 3 years in the US Army as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. I worked for Expo Design Center, a former division of The Home Depot, and currently work for Pacific Sales. I continue to write novels and plan on publishing a 2nd novel in 2010.

My novel is available in hard and soft cover and can be purchased in San Diego bookstores at Warwick's, Bay Books, and Mysterious Galaxy Books. You can also purchase a copy online by clicking the Buy it link below for direct access to Amazon.com, Powell's Books, Indiebound, Borders, Barnes and Noble, and many other on-line retailers.
