Rusty discovered his passion for writing at an early age. When he was
in the fourth grade he was given an assignment to write, illustrate,
and bind a book. He liked it so much, he wrote three––most of which were
pretty awful. One of those books, however, received accolades at a
district writing competition.
Originally from California, Rusty is no stranger to apple boxes and
packaging tape. He attended three different middle schools and two
different high schools between California and Utah. He lived in
Guatemala, learned to speak Spanish, and eventually made his way back to
Utah, where he graduated from the University of Utah. Rusty was the
editor of a monthly Utah newspaper and currently pays the bills doing
graphic design and marketing.
On the weekends, Rusty stays up late playing games and watching
movies with his family. He and his wife, Jayne, reside in the beautiful
mountains in Heber Valley with their six children.
