Past Projects

I am constantly striving toward my next goal, to complete a new project or achieve my next ambition.
Here are some goals I've reached so far, free for your enjoyment.

Stewing Hot Car

Stewing Hot Car is the first flash fiction I wrote during my studies at Full Sail University. It reminds us of the importance of communication, and showcases my ability to write outside of my preferred genre.

Arvél's Hunt

This is my first published e-book, a simple compilation of two conjoining flash fictions that follow Arvél, an elven scout, on his hunt for an ancient enemy.

"Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts."

About Me

Passions and Principles

Much of my inspiration stems from my love of games, especially Dungeons & Dragons, from my family, and from my faith. As a young man, I set out to better the world with clean stories and games that Christians such as myself could enjoy. I assert that media need not dance at the edge of debauchery to be enjoyable.
The written word is more than just an expression of one's self. It works its way into the hardest of hearts, and there shapes the person within. With that level of influence comes a responsibility that I do not take lightly. My work is not just a paycheck, but a means with which to make a positive mark on this world.
