About Me
I have spent my entire life trying to decide who I am or what I should do to make me the most satisfied. I chose a career as an engineer and that career has been very successful. Yet at the same time I have spent much of my free time dabbling in drawing, painting, music, writing poetry and many half-hearted attempts at writing novels. I have a tendency to write engineering documents that are more "literary" than necessary- and subtle indication of my desire to be a writer.
Type of Writer
I write poetry for fun and desire to write dramatic novels that are based on science and engineering.
Writing Style
My style of writing leans towards being highly descriptive and emotional, yet technical- right brain fighting left brain.
Interests
My interests cover many areas. I love to read and my reading interests range from science and technology to biographies and historical based fiction. I also ski and hike in the mountains and ride my motorcycle.
Favorite Genres
Historical- traditional history as well as history of technology and things that impacted society. Historical based fiction.
