Born in 1990 to a family of Armenian immigrants, I fell in love with art and technology at a young age.
I spent 6 years of my life at an arts focused middle/high school where even the math projects required an art component. That’s where I discovered my enjoyment of creative writing.
I had a little poetry book I carried around with me back then, one that I would jot down thoughts and feelings in hidden from the world as my cultural DNA is big on machismo. When a former girlfriend found it in my backpack and read it, I tore it up and threw it in the garbage so my writing could never be seen by anyone again.
Years later, I would be reading the book Hyperion by Dan Simmons, and after getting annoyed by some stylistic choices he made, I thought to myself, “I should write something.” Here we are today.
