About the Author
I was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota in 1989, and grew up in Michigan. When I was a boy, my parents instilled in me a love for science fiction and fantasy, which remains to this day. Before I could even walk, I was exposed to episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the 1977 Rankin/Bass adaptation of The Hobbit.
While in middle school and high school, my mind was constantly occupied with creating fictional worlds—sometimes with friends in a quasi-Dungeons & Dragons form, but more often all by myself. It was in my third period science class in the seventh grade that I first scribbled down stories about Endra.
I attended the University of Detroit Mercy in 2007, and that’s when I began to write in earnest. I finished my first novel while I was a student, and though it was never published, it set the foundation for my next novel: The Reach Between Worlds.
I’ve never given up the geek life, and don’t think I ever will. In addition to writing, I also help manage official social media for some of the most popular Funimation-brand television shows in the world including My Hero Academia, Fairy Tail, One Punch Man, and The Promised Neverland.
My writing influences include Brandon Sanderson, G.R.R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, Robert Jordan, J.R.R Tolkien, Suzanne Collins, Ursula Le Guin, and Hiromu Arakawa.
My favorite fantasy books of all time are The Name of the Wind, Mistborn: The Final Empire, A Game of Thrones, The Hobbit, and (of course) the entire The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
