I was born in New Zealand and now live in Brisbane, where I balance writing with a career as a Casino Surveillance Manager. My work revolves around observation. Watching patterns emerge, noticing what others miss, and understanding how people behave when they believe no one is looking. That perspective shapes the stories I tell and the worlds I build.

Before my civilian career, I served in the navy, an experience that left a lasting mark on how I think about discipline, hierarchy, loyalty, and responsibility. Those themes naturally find their way into my fantasy writing, where oaths matter, power has a price, and choices carry consequences long after they’re made.

I’m a husband and father of two, and family life keeps me grounded in the everyday realities that give even the most fantastical stories their emotional weight. I’m drawn to character‑driven fantasy stories set in lived‑in worlds, where ordinary people are tested by extraordinary circumstances and must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice to endure.

I’m currently seeking publication and committed to honing my craft, writing fantasy that values realism, tension, and the unseen forces that quietly shape both worlds and the people who inhabit them.
