About

Born and raised in Southern Illinois (go Salukis!), I moved to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in 1993.  I was captivated by and married Debra in 1995, and we have been happily tripping through life together ever since.

Since 1995, I’ve been able to make a living in the IT industry.  First doing support, then as a software developer.  Lately, I’ve been leading a production support team at my company.  I’m currently attending Bethel University to earn a BA in Business Management, with an eye towards advancement in my company.

Our son, Ian Thomas, was born in 2001. In 2008, Ian was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.  He fought bravely, but was taken home in February of 2009.  We miss him terribly, but also rest in the knowledge that we will see him again soon.  Through that period, we saw God move through our writing, and through the courage and kindness of our little boy.

As we join our heroes (or, hero and heroine), they begin work on the next chapter of their life…
