I am the Event Operations Coordinator for San Francisco's Red & White Fleet, planning and executing operational aspects of the fleet's nightly dinner cruises and chartered events. I also write fiction, in short and long form.

I come from Texas originally, the son of a Baptist preacher (that's a fun story), but left as a teenager to discover myself and spent many toilsome years afterward on the road as a professional musician.

In 2012, I officially left the music business to focus on writing, my lifelong passion, and also found myself very suited to San Francisco's waterfront activities and marine operations. First finding work in photography and sales with Alcatraz Cruises that same year, I've been on the water ever since, eventually landing at the Red & White Fleet in 2014. I can't imagine working anywhere else. It may seem a contradictory lifestyle, but I feel I could never find a better balance than marine operations by day and long hours at a writing desk by night.

Currently, I'm building Red & White Fleet's event operations into its own unique staff and separate program, and pursuing representation for my first novel. I also author a weekly fiction blog called Adventures in Motorcycle Jackets (admoja.tumblr.com).
