I write near-future "hard" science fiction and techno-thrillers. Many of the ideas I'll discuss here are related to stories I've written or plan to write. I'm also a wannabe Asteroid Miner, with a passion for space settlement. And a rockhound (see www.galleries.com).
I have a bachelors in Physics, and my hobbies include cosmology and lasers. I've been an avid reader of science and science fiction since I was a child.
