A native to Northern California, I moved to Reno, Nevada in 1985. I was a truck driver for 34 years (recently retired, whoop! whoop!), married for 30, and have a 16 year old granddaughter who has me wrapped around her fingers (and knows it).
In 1994, I began writing professionally (pen name J.E. Ellis), from magazine articles to technical brochures to TV pilots. I wrote the sitcom pilot, "Two for Tee," in 2010, but it wasn't picked up. I have five IMDb credits (writer, producer, AD).

Several short stories, as well as my 2006 award-winning fantasy book, "The Hordes of Rage," are available for Kindle and in print. "The Essence of Humanity," a Starfall prequel novel, was released in 2014 and spent three months in the Kindle Top 100.
I recently returned to TTRPGs where I run games out of the local game store, Nerdvana. And go to as many sci-fi or gaming cons as I can afford.
