About the Author

Throughout my life, I have lived in many different parts of the world. I fondly remember the excitement and curiosity I felt when I first arrived in Japan as a young boy at the age of eight. Those fond memories still remain with me and inspire me to think and write about the environments I have lived in, and am living in now. I can still imagine the smaller things like those that caught my eye when I was so much younger. I have always enjoyed being around children, and storytelling seems to be diminishing by the wayside each year as technology leads the young on a different path which does not necessarily teach children about the joy of reading. The incorporation of technology and literature is a fine step toward balancing between physical books that are bound together and video games. I am now living in Olympia, Washington near the Cascade Mountain Range. The Pacific Northwest has always been my number one home, and I can remember from when I was only six years old, how there were trees and forests almost everywhere you went. Today, many of those forested areas have been removed to make room for urban sprawl. I hope that through my stories, I can instill a sense of pride, respect, and conservation of those forests and the creatures that live within them. In addition to world conservation, I also want to offer my childhood experiences of traveling abroad with today's children whose families are becoming more and more nomadic as the business world continues to expand into a global market.
