He has primarily written short fiction; his first professional fiction sale came in 2001. A long-time member of science fiction fandom and early member of MilwApa (the Milwaukee amateur press association), he also co-edited a fanzine, Bento, with his late wife, Kate Yule, and has served as Convention Committee Chair for Potlatch. His short story "Ukaliq and the Great Hunt" appeared in The Phobos Science Fiction Anthology Volume 2 (2003).
Although he grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Levine now lives in Portland, Oregon.
In 2010, he spent two weeks in a simulated Mars habitat of the Mars Society, in Utah.
