● Fiction Coloring books Software
Author & Independent Software Developer
Building worlds.
Creating possibilities.
I write mysteries and science fiction, make coloring books for kids, and build independent software, from search-and-rescue tools to a classroom anatomy lab. One person, a lot of curiosity, and projects that each start with a question worth answering.
01 Stories
Two fiction series and a growing shelf of coloring adventures. Each has its own mood and its own readers.
Middle school mystery · Ages 9–12
Every town has a secret. Rattlecross has hundreds.
A planned seven-book series of supernatural mysteries for middle school readers, set in an ordinary town with a habit of leaving things unfinished. And unfinished things don't stay quiet.
5 books · 7 planned
Science fiction · AI thriller
A five-book techno-thriller about automated systems, the people who trust them, and what happens when everything reports normal and nothing is.
Coloring & activity books · Ages 4–8
A farmyard mystery to solve and a secret Christmas train to ride, with big, friendly pages made for crayons, colored pencils and family time.
02 Software
Seven projects, each conceived, directed and tested by one independent developer: tools for search and rescue, classrooms, growers, caregivers and families.
AI-assisted detection that helps search-and-rescue teams review drone video for people who may need help.
An interactive 3D anatomy and virtual dissection lab for high school science classrooms.
A calm building and exploring game that runs in the browser, works offline and needs no accounts.
A shared care journal that helps families coordinate care for someone they love.
03 About
I'm an author and independent software developer in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and a U.S. Air Force veteran. My interests run wide: search and rescue, drones, artificial intelligence, education, photography and the outdoors. They tend to find their way into whatever I'm building next.
Stories and software have more in common than they seem. Both start with curiosity, both take patience, and both reward the habit of asking what's really going on.
