John Barnett grew up in Chanhassen, Minnesota. After graduating from college in North Carolina, this small-town kid married a world-traveling adventurist, and they moved into a camper van, blazing unpaved trails across the United States.
John's imagination sprang to life on four wheels. He crafted little stories to send on postcards to his niece and nephew from every stop, and from these postcard writings came Kona.
John lives with his wife, Malia, and their pup, Luna, and together they travel often.
