About the Author:

Ian Sullivan grew up in the countryside just outside of St. Louis. Early on, Forest Park became a frequent destination to hunt down adventure, refuel imagination, and stumble into learning a thing or two. Still a St. Louis native, Ian regularly sees and reports on illustrated characters emerging from the world around him—particularly when he’s surrounded by his wife and three kids roaming the city’s most magical destinations.

I'm a 40-year-old father blessed with two wonderful children: a 13-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. My life revolves around my beautiful wife, who is the cornerstone of our family. Without her unwavering support, none of what I do would be possible. By day, I serve as a network administrator for a local school district, ensuring smooth operations in the realm of technology. During the evenings, you'll often find me engrossed in various creative pursuits, from illustrating books to crafting websites or composing music. But above all, my priority is spending quality time with my kids. Parenthood has been a profound journey of growth and discovery for me, and now, armed with a keyboard instead of a pen, I'm eager to share my experiences and insights with others.
