Michael Dirubio was born in Denver more than a few years ago. After serving in the US Navy on submarines for twenty years and being unfit for polite society, Mr. Dirubio worked for a large defense contractor. Fulfilling a lifelong dream to be down sized in the sequestor budgets cuts, and lacking any real skills, Mr. Dirubio turned to writing fiction. He currently lives in a long skinny state in the west with a very patient wife.
