Justin Vanderhoof

Justin was born and raised in Appleton, WI, with a brief stint in Louisville, KY. Currently, he still lives in WI with his wife and three beautiful daughters. He is a Lutheran high school teacher and coach. One of his greatest joys in life has been the opportunity to teach his own children and to coach them in basketball, softball, and track and field. Hobbies include reading, playing board games, and attending football games at Lambeau Field.

As a child, he enjoyed reading just about everything, especially books from what is now known as the Star Wars Expanded Universe. His love of books by J. R. R. Tolkien and R. A. Salvatore inspired him to write his debut novel, The Siege of Ardetten. The Siege of Ardetten was a labor of love for well over a decade, writing alongside his students as they worked on their own creative projects.
