I began writing science fiction after a strange encounter in Kauai led me to suspect we live in a simulated reality.
I've been writing software since the golden age. I knew the founders of Novell, Microsoft, Borland, Evans & Sutherland, Pansophic, Apple (a fun story), Oracle, Electronic Data Systems, Computer Associates, and others. Most of the legends are gone now, but what a trip. They would dream about a world connected by computers. Some of the legends became wealthy from luck or just good business sense, and some did not, but they were all dreamers. That is what they all had in common.
I'm married with six adventurous children. I love the island of Kauai, science fiction, and mountain biking.
