TR grew up in a small town in west central Wisconsin. One of those small towns that if you blink when passing through, you'll miss it. But it was a life experience he wouldn't trade for the world. Watching the aircraft from nearby Ft. McCoy fly overhead got him interested in both the military and aviation.
In his 20 years of active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps he served as an aircraft ground support equipment technician, a Communications Officer, and a CH-53E Helicopter Pilot. He is currently at his "dream job" working in the aviation field with a major logistics company in his newly adopted hometown of Louisville, KY.
TR's start in writing began when he mentioned to his wife he'd always wanted to write a book and she told him, "go for it!" The subsequent journey has been one of hard work, a steep learning curve, and the realization of a passion for writing.
The first incarnation of the Dogs of Warr were comic book characters drawn into a sketchbook in 1986. The debut novel was a way to bring those characters to life, giving them depth and dimension.
While only a 'part time' author, it's become a passion for TR and the ideas keep flowing, eventually winding up on paper. He hopes that others enjoy the ride that he's taking his characters on!!
