R. Chen was born surrounded by the bridges of Portland, Oregon. He grew up playing in the streets and woods and chasing his imagination through stories and drawings. When the world told him to grow up, he did just that-he got a tie, a watch, a job and a car (not necessarily in that order). One day, while holding his two young children, he realized he wasn't done chasing his imagination. And now he's doing just that-teaching his children that one should never stop chasing one's imagination.
