Who he thinks he is…elaborated…

Like, seriously: dude’s been telling stories for decades. Many of them are lost to time, removed computers, and life. However, only recently, J.T. finally got off his fat ass and started actually putting stuff down.

“Red Brick Road” was born from an idea in high school, and nearly 30 years later, actually became a published work, available from Chicken House Press since March 2024. He’s won several awards for it already, including The BookFest’s Fall 2024 First Place for Action & Adventure, and for Fantasy, Action & Adventure. Winning allowed “Red Brick Road” to be featured in Times Square on April 20, 2025…which, as you can see, he was fortunate enough to be there for.

He has several short stories done that’ll probably end up in some kind of collection somewhere, and he’s currently working on the second book in a trilogy called “The Cataclysm Trilogy.” (Sounds uplifting.) Chicken House Press already has the first book, which should be out in 2026, and J.T. will be featured in a collection of short stories, also from CHP, called, “ONE OF US IS A ROBOT.” Stay tuned!

He’s been married for 25 years to the same glorious person, on purpose, with two boys, and three cats. A lifelong Seattle Seahawks fan, J.T. has hobbies, likes, interests, and is in search of the world’s best root beer float; just like normal people!
