I write futuristic fiction with a science fiction feel and a Christian perspective. I have written over two dozen novels: three trilogies consisting of dystopian fiction (with two backstories), science fiction, and a futuristic saga; a pentalogy of end-time prophecy stories; a tetralogy of Bible stories told from the perspective of the archangel Mikael and the influence of the Adversary, Satan; and a duology regarding the impact of future technologies. I have also written three non-fiction books. One is about how the Bible can be viewed as a cohesive overarching plan which God has put into place. The other two, with the contribution from my editor, are about how to be a better writer and a better self-editor.

About:
Author / Screenplay Writer
In addition, I have begun to write several of my novels into screenplays which will, hopefully, one day be on the big screen. The goal to all my writing is to help others see a perspective of God that they may not have observed before and then, hopefully, spur them on to learning even more. That is what I hope to achieve in my Scripture Blog as
well. I try to point out details within Scripture that may generally go overlooked and thereby help readers see the intricacies and the intertwined nature of Scripture texts. My Book Blog is to help readers understand some of the underlying elements around the stories I have written.
I have a bachelor's degree in pharmacy from Auburn University and a doctorate degree in Pharmaceutics. After finishing graduate school, I became a pharmacokinetic reviewer for the Food and Drug Administration and later joined a leading pharmaceutical company as a pharmacokineticist. If you are still looking for a profession and like math and science, check it out. It is where you mathematically describe the concentration profile of a drug within the human body. Pretty cool.

I also have a master's degree in Jewish Studies from the Internet Bible Institute (2008) under the tutelage of Dr. Robert Condon and I have completed my doctorate in Biblical Prophecy with Louisiana Baptist University (2014).

In 2010, my wife, Heidi, and I took a trip to Israel. What a very rewarding experience. We had a great time, ate some wonderful food, saw some awe-inspiring sites, met some wonderful people, and learned so much about Israel's history and its people. If you have not had a chance to visit the Holy Land, then I would highly recommend it. We took a trip with the students in the Bible & Israel program at Cairn University (what was at that time Philadelphia Biblical University). A trip to Israel was part of their curriculum and they allowed other adults to join them. If you would like to learn more about the program or the trip, check out its Israel & Archeology program. It was a very rewarding experience for us.
There are 4 men that have had a large impact on my Christian life: (1) my father - he taught the adult Bible class at the small rural church where I grew up for almost as long as I can remember until he passed away. I guess that is why I developed such a love for the Old Testament; (2) Robert Congdon - when I started taking courses with the Internet Bible Institute, Dr. Congdon opened up the Bible to me in ways that I had never thought before. He helped to rekindle the love of Scripture that had grown dormant; (3) Dr. Renald Showers - reading his books has opened my mind to deeper meaning of Scripture and he has such a way to clearly explain God's word that has enhanced my appreciation of Scripture; (4) Mike Otto - he was my pastor for about 30 years before he retired. He has a way of presenting Scripture that really makes it personal, and his love for God and His Word comes through every time. I have also seen him so consistent in his Christian walk even through troubled times, and I find him so inspiring. Check out some of his teachings here.
May God Bless you richly,
