Hello, my name is Brendan and thank you for stopping by! I’ve worn many hats on an oddly varied career, but writing is where my passion has always been.

I grew up in a military family, always on the move, living in North Carolina, Virginia, Rhode Island, and Okinawa, Japan all before I was ten. Books were both the foundation of stability and the ultimate escape, companions to other worlds that could journey with me even when friends could not. I have always been drawn to fiction and more particularly fantasy, offering the ability to travel in my mind when the traveling of my feet grew tiresome.

As an adult my career turned away from the arts. I’ve worked in places ranging from job shops to plastics manufacturing to nonprofit operations. While these roles have been fun and fulfilling in their own ways, through all these experiences I’ve been driven to return to my love of writing.

I now reside in Oregon where I live with my wife, son, and dog. While writing consumes much of my time, you may also find me at one of my many other pastimes - cooking, gardening, hiking, playing piano, building LEGO, attending a show, gaming, practicing archery, volunteering, or woodworking.
