I became hooked on science after Neil Armstrong took an unusual stroll one Sunday morning in July, 1969. As a boy, I devoured science fiction from Issac Asimov and Phillip Dick. After passing through Canoe U (U.S. Naval Academy), I served as a submarine officer and my reading turned to the hard SciFi genre written by the likes of Kim Stanley Robinson and Gregory Benford.
After leaving the Navy, I went back to school and earned graduate degrees at Bryant University in Rhode Island and Swinburne University in Australia. I’ve spent two decades teaching college physics and astronomy. In 2019, I launched the Lost in the Multiverse series, which include the novels Mauna Kea Rising and Elle: The Naked Singularity. The series seamlessly merges mind-bending questions with page-burning action. Science, Buddhism and romance converge in these intense adventures in the multiverse.
A member of RMFW and the Hawaiʻi Writers Guild, I love to read and write mind-expanding science fiction. My articles and short stories have appeared in Pilot Mag, the Torrid Literature Review, Latitudes, and in the anthology 20,000 Leagues Remembered. Since 2021 I have served as the fiction editor for Latitudes, a literary journal published by the Hawaii Writers Guild.
