I've worked for a general contractor for the last 5 years and been a Reservist for the last 10. Prior to that I spent four years as a Corrections Officer. I've had two stories published, one at Entropy Mag (https://entropymag.org/they-watching-me/--re-named from "Everything I Know..." ) and another at Every Day Fiction (https://everydayfiction.com/on-the-couch-by-david-van-vranken/). I enjoy model building, reading, weightlifting, shooting, playing with my son and the occasional trip to the museum.
