Ryan Steele grew up in Utah, and had aspirations to be a pilot, FBI agent, a business owner, or a writer. Except for writing part-time, he hasn’t achieved any of these goals. Instead, he’s spent time as a 6th grade teacher, a driver, a used-car salesperson, a janitor, and an I.T. worker. Ryan still resides in Utah, and spends his summer months writing. He hopes to write several more books in this series, and begin the second book in another series on which he’s currently working. He has a wife, Kristyn, and two daughters. Another is on the way.
