is currently a Creative Writing student at the University of North Texas. He was born and raised in Plano, Texas, and attended Plano Senior High School, where he enjoyed playing very loud music as the Drumline Captain. Among his other works, he writes science fiction stories about everything from airships sailing post-apocalyptic landscapes to insane doctors experimenting on kidnapped hobos. During his senior year of high school, he entered into and was chosen as a winner for the National Council of Teachers of English Achievement in Writing award. His winning story for the contest was about a German roboticist who created ridiculous machines to ease the burden of day-to-day living. He actively plays music, drumming for two different bands and eating up the rich musical setting that the University of North Texas has to offer. His favorite authors include Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut, and Michael Chabon. He frequently visits his local public library, where row upon row of books never fail to call to him. He plans on starting a career of writing short stories and novels and plans to break into screenwriting in the near future. When not playing music or writing stories, he is hard at work determining how to keep the constantly multiplying jellyfish population from becoming the rulers of the world. As of yet, he has found no plausible solution except to trap them in sand castles, though he is still hard at work.
