It all began in the 1980s with two people who made at least one questionable decision that resulted in my birth. Rampaging ADHD made childhood and education a chaotic affair, resulting in escape into comics, science-fiction, and fantasy forming a lifelong love for the arts, literature, and film. The preceding 25 years were a mélange of unfocused education, struggles with mental health, and understanding and acceptance of my pansexuality. Until I met a girl who became my wife, and we began our adventures in parenting. I had the opportunity to start writing for a small, now defunct, online media blog (Watch Play Read).
