Troy S. Haas

I was born on Feb. 15th, 1964 in Indianapolis, Indiana. At about age 2 we moved South to Evansville where my father was born and raised. This in turn, is where I was raised and where I have raised my 2 children. I have been married for 18 years to my wonderful wife.

I have had several jobs over the years, many I thought would turn into careers. I have worked in the dinning industry, played semi-pro Ice Hockey, worked as an EMT-A and worked in and also have owned my own sign business.

All this was up until seven years ago when I broke my back. Three fractures in my lower back, and if you couple this with the total knee replacement I had prior to this, it left me unable to perform the jobs I had done in the past. I have worked hard to rehab my back and it is a 100 times better, but manual labor is out of the question anymore. Luckily, I have a very supportive wife and family.

Now at the age of 43, I am about to begin my 4th semester of college in pursuit of a Psychology and English Degree. My goal is to not only write, but to teach Psychology and English at the University level.

I enjoy writing about a great range of topics, but being a perfectionst I am hesitant to share a lot of what I have written. I have a ton of short stories and I am presently working on my 1st novel. It is a Psychological-Murder story about a female serial killer. The only part that is completely finished is the Prologue. I have four chapters in first draft and I am working on the rest of the story.

I have several hobbies including Texas Hold'm, darts and I am an ASA Softball Umpire in both slow and fast pitch. I love IU Basketball, The NFL(GO COLTS), Notre Dame Football and NHRA Drag Racing. I also play Fantasy Football every year with my poker buddies.

Thats me !!! What about you??
