A lifelong devotee of literature in general and a fan of science fiction in particular, he counts as his earliest formative influences in the genre the works of Andre Norton, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Robert Heinlein. Admiring the ability and determination of authors to write, at the age of twelve he felt compelled to set pen to paper for his first science fiction short stories. His personal philosophy is rooted in the tenet that much of what humanity holds dear in the way of beliefs, dogma and motifs are based in long lost, forgotten, or misinterpreted fact, and that because of this it is entirely possible for religion and science to not only co-exist together but to thrive, confirm, and stimulate each other. His science fiction writings are expressions of hope, fear, belief, and faith.weniger sehen
