BIO

       I am originally from Ponce, Puerto Rico but have spent half of my life in Iowa, USA.  I have two wonderful boys to which I dedicate myself to.  I feel like I have lived many lives from managing multiple factories to playing semi-pro football.  Throughout my endless adventures whether in the ocean or in the cornfields, I have met the people and seen the places that end up in my stories.

​

       Besides writing I also dedicate myself to coaching multiple sports and try to spend as much time with my boys as possible.  There is a real joy in influencing and being involved in the life of my kids and other youth. 

​

      My true passions are writing and cooking.  My favorite authors include Edgar Allan Poe and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.  I am also a big fan of Salvador Dali and M.C. Escher. 

​

       From an early age I started writing poetry and short stories.  My books are born out of the nightmares of my mind and are then melded with my life experiences.  I would describe my books as reality sprinkled with a good magical dose of faerie dust, written Surrealism in other words. I hope my books can be entertaining but also be thought provoking.

Live for today, fight for tomorrow
