“Write what you know,” they say. When you’ve spent most of your life in technology and R&D, you write science fiction. I’ve been a Rocket Scientist, working with actual rockets, satellites, and the occasional upper atmospheric balloon. From there I ventured into network engineering just as the Internet was beginning to take off and wound up living the entire economic transformation of Information Technology as it went from an experimental project to essential service. For a while, I worked in a research institution which was developing Star Trek style universal translators. Currently, I work in Public Policy where our job consists, literally, of designing the future.

Starships, and rayguns, and AIs. Oh my! I write about how technology changes us, how we might govern the changes, and just what might be waiting for out there beyond the heliopause. If you like authors like CJ Cheryh, Ursula K. Leguin, and Julie Czerneda, you’ll probably enjoy my work.
