Doten, Jeff

Hal J. Friesen writes science fiction, plays science, and studies cello. He wore an astronaut costume for 167 days in a contest to go to space. He grew up in Prince George, BC, and holds a BSc in Chemistry and Physics, and MSc in Electrical Engineering. Now working as a Research Scientist in laser gas detection, he spends his working hours making and breaking new concepts, before going home to unleash his imagination writing on a homemade treadmill desk. He lives in Edmonton with a cello and a gnome painted like Super Mario.
