About the Author

I was born in South Bend, Indiana, where I spent my childhood and much of my teenage years. I attended Northern Illinois University and have been in IT for what seems like all my life. I have always enjoyed telling stories, whether from books or making them up for children to engage their imaginations. My intention in writing these stories about Dasher's exploits was to capture and highlight important life lessons to help children deal with everyday life. Also, as a parent, enjoyed sitting with my children and reading to them, as I hope this will also draw parents into reading to their children. When not working or writing, I enjoy watching college football and movies with Dashers' inspiration, my dog Loki.
