D.J. Humphrey

D.J. Humphrey was born on March 7, 1960, in Pensacola, Florida. The second of four brothers, some of his rites of passage were gas rationing, a newly post Vietnam America, hand-me-down everything, and three network television.

A resident of South Carolina, he was educated in the primary schools of Greenwood and Abbeville counties and graduated from Dixie High School in Due West, where he spent most of his childhood. As graduate Cum Laude from Lander University in Greenwood, he received a Bachelor of Science in Education with a minor in history.

His entrepreneurial endeavors include operating Coach’s Choice After School Clubs for first through sixth grades and partnership in The Donald's Auction House. His experience as an educator includes teaching grade levels three through seven in Wilderness and Justice facilities for six years. He also served twelve years in the 111 Signal Battalion of the Army National Guard of South Carolina.

Now a resident of beautiful Lake Greenwood, South Carolina, Humphrey is a devoted husband and father of a son and daughter and the grandfather of three wonderful grandchildren. He enjoys engaging in many outlets for his creativity, including but not limited to painting, illustration, carving, photography, singing and especially writing.

“Jackson's Raiders And The Lost Confederate Gold” is his first published work. Two other books remain to be published in this series. They are “Jackson's Raiders And The Blood Curse Of Montezuma” and “Jackson's Raiders And The Chronicles Of Blackbeard.” He has written several other unpublished works which include short stories, novelettes, picture books and poetry.
