Casey Moores was a USAF officer, as well as a rescue and special ops C-130 pilot for over 17 years- airdropping, air refueling, and flying in and out of tiny little blacked-out dirt airstrips in bad places using night vision goggles. He's been to "those" places and done "those" things with "those" people. Now he is looking forward to a somewhat quieter life where he can translate those experiences to fiction. He is a Colorado native and Air Force Academy graduate, but has also become a naturalized Burqueño, planning to live in New Mexico forever.
