About the Author
Born in Los Angeles, California, in 1979, the author has been a storyteller since childhood. At the age of eight, he began crafting short stories, poetry, and music, driven by a need to express what he sensed but could not always explain. Though his creative gifts were evident early on, it wasn’t until a high school English teacher offered sincere praise and encouragement that he began to recognize his talent as something meaningful. That early foundation would carry into his college years, where he wrote impactful essays, even though publishing a book was never part of his original vision. Instead, he continued creating through music and poetry, both introspective and thought-provoking in nature.
A charismatic introvert, the author is just as comfortable on stage as he is in solitude. It is in solitude, in fact, where his creativity is most alive—where his thoughts can stretch beyond the noise of everyday life. It was through music that he connected with Sharon Nelson, the sister of the legendary artist formerly known as Prince. During a conversation, she encouraged him to explore storytelling beyond lyrics and poetry. She suggested he had a voice that needed to be heard in novel form. At the time, he politely dismissed the idea. But her words planted a seed.
Years later, after navigating a series of personal trials, he began to feel something shifting inside him. He questioned whether he might be out of alignment with his purpose. The nudge to write—the one he had ignored—grew louder, until it could no longer be dismissed. Writing this book became not just a creative endeavor, but a spiritual calling. He believed that finishing it was necessary to realign himself with a deeper truth.
Determined to follow through, the author retreated to a secluded ranch, far from distractions, and committed himself to the work. His initial goal was modest—just 100 words a day, simply to establish a rhythm. But as the days passed, the words poured out. The flow became consistent, and the story began to reveal itself.
The Rememberer was born from this quiet dedication. Inspired by the transformative power of novels like The Alchemist, Siddhartha, Things Fall Apart, and Of Water and the Spirit, the author set out to create a work that could awaken something in others, just as those books had awakened something in him. His debut novel is an invitation to remember: not only the forgotten parts of ourselves, but the larger story to which we all belong.
Today, he continues to write from a place of deep reflection and conviction. His work seeks to bridge the seen and unseen, the worldly and the spiritual, the personal and the collective. The Rememberer is his first novel—but it will not be his last.
