A self-proclaimed science nerd, BRIAN FLETCHER has a successful career in business while pursuing his passion of writing speculative fiction. His hobbies include playing video games with his wife, listening to music, thinking about how he used to go hiking, and wishing his old knees felt good enough to play sports again. Favorite past adventures include hiking Mount Rainier, exploring the depths of Snake River Canyon, and multiple Jeep safaris in Moab. An alumnus of the University of Michigan, he currently lives in Florida, where it’s too flat and hot to actually hike at all.
