Bio

From Circuit Boards to Storybooks

Long before becoming a children’s author, I was known among friends as “Keyboard,” a nod to my decades of experience in the tech world.

After more than 35 years in computers and problem-solving, I’ve turned the page to follow a lifelong love of storytelling.

Creative writing was always my favorite subject in school, and now I’ve returned to it with renewed passion. I create early reader books that spark curiosity, imagination, and joy, writing stories designed for young readers and the grown-ups who read with them.

Interests

Dogs, cats, & dinosaurs. Please find out more at my website.

WordPress Origin Story

I joined WordPress in 2022 to start working on my personal website. However, before retiring, I used WordPress to develop and manage several commercial websites. It’s a great, easy-to-use tool that comes with many free plugins, covering everything you need.
