Michael Sloan was born in Ohio and at the age of 19 set off to see the world. His adventures have taken him to all corners of the globe where he had the opportunity to live in some of the most beautiful and dangerous areas of the world... sometimes the most dangerous can be absolutely beautiful! He has spent more than 25 years as a computer systems administrator, network administrator, information technology program manager, and the last three years as an up-and-coming young adult author. Michael currently resides in the Pensacola Florida area with his wife where he enjoys the beach, golf, and the occasional parade!
