"Writer" is the latest stop on my twisted career path, a trail that includes a Bachelors Degree in Music (Voice) and a Masters Degree in Radio, Television, and Film (with an emphasis on Japanese fantastic cinema), as well as stints as a retail bookstore manager, magician and escape artist, tarot card reader, radio talk show host, wine tasting instructor, licensed auctioneer, comedy defensive driving instructor, Master of Ceremonies for Medieval Times Dallas, comic book reviewer and critic, copy and technical writer, singer, actor, and educator, to name just a few. I've placed numerous articles in such publications as The Comic Buyer's Guide, Big Reel,Films of the Golden Age, Classic Images, Planet Collector, Antique Toy World, and more.
