Hi! I'm a writer and publisher living in Verona Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh. My company, Imagin8 Press, has published over 100 fiction and nonfiction books for people learning to read Chinese. Our best sellers are an innovative English translation of the Dao De Jing, and a 31-volume retelling, in easy Chinese, of the classic novel Journey to the West.
I’m also a lifelong science fiction fan, and started writing sci-fi seriously in 2024. I am delighted that my first three SF short stories have all been accepted for publication, by Bewildering Stories, Frivolous Comma, and Professor Feiff's Trans-Dimensional Travelogue. My sci-fi novel Ascent to the Sun has been published by Imagin8 Press.
Before embarking on my current career, I was in the software business. I founded and led three successful companies - ServiceWare, which began in my basement and went public on the NASDAQ, Touchtown, which was acquire by Uniguest, and most recently Tunescribers. I have a degree in computer science from Carnegie-Mellon University, where I taught an undergraduate course in computer programming. I'm also on the board of Allegheny Cleanways, a nonprofit focused on eliminating illegal dumping in the Pittsburgh region.
When not sitting in front of a glowing screen, you can probably find me playing competitive pickleball.
