Wally (AKA Thomas) started his life as an only child in the Metro Detroit suburbs. Growing up he always had an active imagination and enjoyed telling and writing stories. Never being strong in the language arts it was his story writing that helped him pass his 8th grade language arts class when he turned in a short novella about the destruction of earth and mankind moving on in space for extra credit. The teacher gave him an A++. Sorry to say the original of this story was lost over the years. Wally’s family loved traveling thus giving him a multitude of experience’s from coast to coast. In 1999 Wally married his kindergarten sweetheart. They have a pair of boys who are now starting their adult lives. The pair enjoy cruising and traveling when life allows.
Everyone thought Wally would end up a movie producer because at the age of 10 he would make silent movies using his father’s 8mm film camera. He learned how to do stop action filming using Star Wars action figures and army men. He would also use firecrackers and bottle rockets for special effects. Afterwards he would edit by hand with a manual film editing station that included cutting and splicing along with hand drawing in each frame laser blasts. Unfortunately and heartbreaking these films were destroyed in a house flood.
Wally ended up following a couple different paths as he grew up as he first started as a grounds worker for cemetery’s before moving on to manage the family business, the Fraser Q Club, a billiard hall. After that he followed his dream to work in the recording business and completed an apprenticeship in a recording studio. After working a couple year in the studio he continued his education by attending Full Sail University where he received his degree in Audio Engineering. Throughout the years Wally has at times taken positions outside this industry, briefly he was an IT project manager and has also managed a couple bowling centers. (Because he and his wife enjoy bowling. Wally has one perfect game 300, but his wife bowled in the US open a way bigger honor!) A large part of his life has been managing Audiovisual events for full service hotels and working as a freelancer in recording studios as an editor / engineer.
Wally may not be a trained author but his stories still bring enjoyment to many. He enjoys exploring “What If” type stories like in his prior writings. When you compile his past Wally has a ton of information and real life experiences to pull from for his stories.
Hope you enjoy,
Wally
