I started life as a scientist, e-car inventor, AI software architect, and software and electrical engineer. I founded a successful AI software company and then, for my second act, became a bestselling novelist, journalist, ghostwriter, and op-ed newspaper columnist.

I was widowed at a young age after my first wife tragically died from pancreatic cancer. A few years later, I put everything I owned in storage and did my own version of Eat Pray Love by wandering the California coastline renting oceanfront cottages while searching for a good place to heal and write. 

Along that journey, I published my second bestseller and found and married the second love of my life, a remarkable woman and artist named Dana. So I have loved, lost, grieved, created, founded companies, wandered, invented, written about it all, and been metaphorically reborn more than once. All this life experience is distilled into my writing.
