Mechanical designer, vintage car enthusiast, and a storyteller who blurs the lines between reality and fiction. With 30 years in the industrial world, I've learned that the truth is often stranger-and more compelling-than anything I could invent.
My work is divided into two worlds:
The Lived Experience: Through my memoir-style stories, I pull back the curtain on my own life, using my own name to document the realities of the workshop, the road, and everything in between.
The Dystopian Edge: In Boxing Day, I step away from the familiar to build complex, gear-turning worlds where the human spirit clashes with cold, automated machinery.
If you're a fan of grounded, authentic narratives or immersive dystopian thrillers with a focus on secret societies and hidden systems, you've found your home here.
When I'm not at my keyboard, you'll find me in the garage with a wrench in my hand, practicing my vocals, or planning the next road trip with my wife and our two Siberian Huskies.
Come explore the stories-both real and imagined-with me.
