Award winning author David J. Gibbs was born and raised in the greater Cincinnati area. The old-est of three, he protected his younger brother and sister from neighborhood bullies and the mon-sters under their beds. He always sought out the inexplicable and enjoyed roaming the darkness of campfire tales and monster stories. An Eagle Scout, he has always enjoyed the outdoors, camping and hiking across the country. A gifted athlete, he particularly excelled at soccer and track and field. He has become a nationally certified soccer coach and continues to instill his love of the game through his coaching. He is an accomplished musician as well, playing Cincinnati area gigs regularly with his band Spare Change. Never losing touch with the wonder, magic and terror of childhood, he continues to push the lim-its of imagination with the kind of stories he wanted to read as a kid.
