I became an author during a raging polar storm in Antarctica while trapped in a tent. Quite literally.

Alone in –80°F cold, I made a vow: “If I survive this, I’m writing stories that hit hard and don’t flinch.”

I kept that promise.

I’ve skied solo to the South Pole, crossed Greenland, climbed Denali—more than once. Before that, I built tech for real-world missions. Now I write thrillers shaped by danger, grit, and the kind of truth you only earn out there.
