I spent the first ten years of my professional life in retail
sales, working my way up to store management positions in two
different Fortune 500 retailers. Along the way, I managed to
earn a BA in Religion and English Writing from La Salle University
in Philadelphia, PA and an MA in Secondary Education from Holy
Family University, also in Philadelphia.
After completing my Masters, I began teaching high school
English. When my second son was born in May, 2010, however,
my wife and I decided that it would be more prudent for me to be a
stay-at-home dad, taking care of the new baby along with my first
son, who was born in June, 2005. I have since had the
challenge and pleasure of being a homemaker.
It was at this time that I finally grasped the stories that had
been in my head since I was a teenager and wrangled them to
paper. Toonopolis began as a silly interactive fiction game
played with some real life and virtual friends. The game only
lasted a few years but the world I had created and my characters
never escaped my thoughts.
As a writer, I consider C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carroll to be my
strongest influences. They were able to create magical worlds
that readers of all ages enjoy, which is exactly what I want to
achieve with Toonopolis. It is a lofty goal, indeed, but the
only goals that will invariably be unachievable are the ones that
are not set.
