Tyler Pesek grew up in a small town in Northern California and spent his childhood days playing “Star Wars” and “The Lord of the Rings.” Starting at a young age, he was fascinated with heroes and stories of self-sacrifice. He always had an active imagination, often daydreaming in class instead of paying attention and would write out his ideas. After stumbling through high school and moving a few times afterwards, he joined the Navy and spent 6 years in the service as an Electronics Technician. Going through many crucibles as he traveled the world during his time in the Navy, he was often inspired and even found time to write! He completed a draft of his first book and the short story "The Storm Trooper." He is now settled in Fort Collins, Colorado, where he works as a technician by day and is a writer by night.
