I have many disparate passions that make me a unique voice. I was raised on a farm, yet obsessed with science fiction and science in general since birth. I have almost twenty years of experience in software and hardware development and have worked for multiple tech companies, including Silicon Valley startups. At the same time, I have always had a deep interest in sociology and group dynamics, combined with a deep desire to constantly question who, what, where, when, and why. These attributes enable me to craft a complex, dynamic tale that blends rich character-led stories with a high level of technical and scientific accuracy. Outside of that, I am a father of two wonderful children and the husband to a wife I will always be trying to deserve.

Science Fiction
The novel is told through several connected storylines that unfold across different eras, showing how ancient events continue to shape the present. The earliest story follows Bashefer, a member of the first intelligent species in the universe, whose experiences reveal the origins of advanced civilizations, powerful governing systems, and long-hidden truths about how life was spread across the cosmos. In the twentieth century, the story centers on Devira Levin. As a young woman in the American Midwest, she encounters a mysterious craft and becomes connected to strange objects known as Orbs, which appear to be monitoring Earth. As she grows older, her involvement with these forces deepens, drawing her into secret wartime missions and hidden research tied to advanced technology. Other viewpoints expand the scope of the story: a Soviet soldier who witnesses a catastrophic encounter during the Cold War; a priest in ancient Babylon whose visions influence kings and sacred architecture; and a shadowy commander manipulating humanity from behind the scenes. Together, these perspectives form a layered science-fiction epic. |
