If you have found this page, it is probably because you discovered me as a new author. Thank you for visiting!

I grew up in the Southern Tier region of New York State, but I have lived near Boston, Massachusetts for most of my life. I studied engineering and science in college; after brief stints working in biotech and software, I have been a high school science teacher since the early 2000s.

I have always enjoyed reading and writing, both fiction and non-fiction. What I have (self-)published so far has been non-fiction: class notes for physics and chemistry, and a short book about teaching experimental design. I have written a couple of short stories, and I have a couple of works-in-progress dating back quite a few years, but Rewinding Time is the first fictional work that I have completed and (self-)published.

My wife Nancy and I have enjoyed reading aloud to each other and our children throughout our marriage. One of our daughters discovered Jane Austen FanFiction (JAFF) during the COVID-19 pandemic. She introduced Nancy to the genre, who then introduced it to me. Now, JAFF is most of what we read to each other, which is how I became inspired to write a JAFF novel.

My other main interest besides writing is music; I play viola in several local orchestras and violin for Morris dancing.
