About the Author

I spent almost ten years in the Air Force and, like many other technical writers, I fell into the job. My last four years in the Air Force, I was working as a technical communicator and didn't even know it!

I wrote procedures, edited proposals, and created multimedia presentations simply because I enjoyed it. I had always loved writing and technology and finally found a job that combined the two.

Since I got out, I have been working as a technical writer, attending school, and researching the job market. Currently, I am writing at a manufacturing company in St. Cloud, Minnesota. I love the area and my job is interesting, but doesn't consume all my time.

The project that is occupying most of my time is a new magazine for large families. It is called Joyfull Noise and it is set to launch in September of 2000. Being the father of eight wonderful children, this magazine is a long-held dream. If you have a large family, or have any friends with large families, please send them by the site.
