He worked as a journalist for various papers in Tennessee, Missouri and the Northeast, getting an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Missouri, as well as freelancing, but eventually became a full-time S.F. writer.

He serves on the Board of Advisors of SFWA and is a Eastern Regional Director. In 2004, he contributed a chapter to the collaborative hoax novel, Atlanta Nights by Travis Tea.
