Hi there! I'm the person responsible for stuffing your brain with strange facts, inspiring quotes, and more random trivia than you probably asked for.

I was born curious—so curious that I once took apart a toaster just to see how it worked. (Spoiler: it never worked again.) Growing up, while other kids were trading baseball cards, I was memorizing fun facts about octopuses and the history of spoons. My first words might’ve been, “Did you know…?”

Over the years, I’ve turned my natural talent for distraction and fascination into something slightly more productive: writing books! Whether it’s a quote to brighten your day or a weird story that makes you go, “Wait, really?” I love to surprise, delight, and sometimes confuse readers of all ages.

When I’m not writing, I’m either:

Googling things that no one should ever need to know,

Having deep philosophical conversations with my coffee mug,

Or trying to convince my pet (who runs the house) that I’m the boss.

If curiosity is a superpower, then I guess I’m some kind of fact-powered superhero. My cape’s in the laundry, though.

Stay curious. Stay weird. And remember: life’s too short not to learn something wonderfully useless every day.
