Tyrone grew up in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area of Minnesota. Other than being an immigrant to the United States, he had a typical Midwestern-Urban childhood. His varied background in the sciences, psychology, creative arts, and motorcycling have allowed him to write works that are compelling yet easy to understand for many different types of people. Riding street bikes used to be a favorite past-time for Tyrone and he has road-raced motorcycles at raceways. Music is also a large part of Tyrone’s life. He’s found through the years that using song and melody is the perfect language to reach people’s souls. He currently plays acoustic guitar and the Irish drum (bodhrán).
