So, bios are a rough thing. Most people don't read them, but if they do, they usually find the author is just some guy or gal and nothing super special. Or I can go with the classic humble brag and list my various achievements and try not to sound like a jerk doing so. Or I can attempt to be funny and witty. The challenge there is that can easily come off as mildly amusing but devoid of any real information at best or nonsensical and clinically insane at worst. Maybe there is a happy medium, but damned if I can find it... I was born at an early age and was completely illiterate for the first several years. I overcame that and became an avid reader of all things sci/fi, fantasy or murder mystery. I grew up playing a lot of contact sports (the concussions weren't a thing when I was a kid and it shows), rode dirt bikes, shot guns for target practice, did a lot of camping and logged a few thousand hours playing Dungeons and Dragons, with a minor in video games. Over the years I have held many, many different jobs, sometimes at the same time. Anything from amateur blacksmithing and leatherworking, to bouncer at a pool hall, to trumpet player in various bands (marching and stage). I spent a forgettable summer learning to make microfilm and microfiche (a dead medium by now) before spending a few years as a Vet tech and dog trainer. A logical step later, I became a paramedic with a major fire department and spent almost 20 years in that role. Then I broke my spine and had to figure out what to do when I grow up. I dusted off a few notebooks filled with terrible short stories and ideas and tried to hone the craft of writing into an actual career. I'll let you know how it goes. If your still reading and really want to know, I live in NY with my wife and son and an ever-rotating menagerie of pets. Please check out my website, www.Keithahrensthewriter.com.
