B.D. Landis

B.D. Landis was born in Alaska. He spent his early life in the forested hills of the Pacific Northwest which sparked a lifelong love of nature and the outdoors. His family then moved to Southern California, exposing him to a rich tapestry of people and cultures. He later moved back to the Pacific Northwest to attend college.

A lifelong tinkerer, he spent the next twenty years working in IT and IT-adjacent roles. He and his wife moved back to Southern California in 2021, and, eager for a career change, he retired from IT to explore other options.

He lives with his beloved wife, Heather. Heather works in Aerospace and is actually far more interesting than he is, but this is “About the Author,” not “About the Author’s Wife.” What successes he’s enjoyed in life can all be laid squarely at her feet.

They live in a modest home in Long Beach with their greasy dog and revolting pair of felines, whom they love and pamper shamelessly.
