Now a resident of San Diego, California, he's a lover of the natural world, the outdoors, aviation, space exploration, and all things science. He also loves fictionscience fiction most of alland has been honing his writing craft for as long as he can remember.

Voyage to Proxima, a 14,000-word novella, was finally completed in 2021 and submitted to the Writer's of the Future writing contest under the title Prime, where it was awarded a Silver Honorable Mention. He's currently making revisions for submissions to known science fiction magazines. His other project Falling Spaceman was drafted as a complete short story, but then he decided to re-work it with a great deal of new material as a novella. A third novella project, The Waters of Artemis, is still in germinal stage but has driven D. Victor to conduct a great deal of research with the history of NASA's Apollo missions, geology and lunar geology, biology (fungi in particular), and orbital mechanics.

When he's not writing or researching, D. Victor loves to spend time with his wife and children or working on a myriad of other projects.
