Born and educated in north shore suburban Ohio, G.R. began to nurture his lifetime interest in the macabre at an early age. After completing a military obligation, exploring the U.S. while expanding his mind during his time spent as a working weekend hippie, and an insurance career that ended in Chicago, G.R. turned to putting dreams to words, the mystical, magical, fantastical images of the mind and the horror of it all. He now resides with his wife, Patricia, corralled in a small village of central New Mexico, surrounded by stories and stars of the dark heavens.
