My goal is to write the best books I can. Many of the story ideas that I have are twist and turns on real life events.
No ten-year-old says, ‘I’m going to be an industrial Health and Safety Officer.’ If you know that kid, slap them upside the head. The job is a sacrificial rollercoaster.
I’ve worked thirty-years in industrial safety throughout North America and the Middle East. Although writing was a huge part of my profession, bizarre circumstances frequently threw me to the wolves.
I’ve investigated fatalities, injuries, and destruction. My scariest moment was rushing towards an explosion in the Middle East, while two thousand workers ran for safety. My most frustrating experience involved a motorcycle gang dealing drugs in the workplace.
Writing fiction is my passion and career. When I’m not filling my daily quota of reading and writing, I’m experimenting in the kitchen or consulting for various clients. I hold a B.Sc. and I’m a lifelong learner of both technical and fiction writing.
Some fun facts about me—I live in Western Canada, have a wife, three kids, two cats and two dogs.
Assalamu alaikum.
