I sup­pose it's fit­ting that one of my lit­er­ary idols, the late Ray Brad­bury, was born in the month of August in Waukegan, Illi­nois. Because 53 years later, so was I. Not that I have ever dared to hold myself in his lit­er­ary com­pany, but it has always been my belief that light­ning can strike twice. Though born in the Mid­west, I was trans­ported to New Jer­sey when I was barely a year old and raised there on a healthy diet of sci-fi/horror movies, comic books, and role-playing games. I was also very much into my com­puter, and at the age of 14 cre­ated my first node on the Inter­net when I ran a BBS on my Com­modore 64 with a 300 baud modem. Through­out high school I sub­sisted mostly on a steady diet of Stephen King and Michael Crich­ton. But a few years later, while study­ing Engi­neer­ing in col­lege, I dis­cov­ered Jack Ker­ouac, and it was his writ­ing that would define my life over the next twenty years. After chang­ing majors sev­eral times, I even­tu­ally earned a Bach­e­lor of Arts in Eng­lish from the Uni­ver­sity of Miami, and a Mas­ter of Arts in Phi­los­o­phy from New York Uni­ver­sity. In the time since, I have stress-tested infra­struc­ture for the national elec­tion data cen­ter, taught Eng­lish in Japan, man­aged email servers in Port­land, Ore­gon, and built exhi­bi­tion booths in Mel­bourne, Australia. The Data Run­ner is my first series.
