Born in North Carolina and raised as a homeschooled army brat, Dexter’s early life spanned continents, from South Korea to Colorado. Along the way, he learned to channel his neurodivergence into discipline and creativity, finding focus through writing, music, and martial arts.

He published his first novel at seventeen, and by the time he graduated with a dual degree in Marketing and Business Administration, he had several more under his belt.

My ideas come from imagination alone, in part inspired by the media around me. I have had some nightmares, which led to the descriptions within The Slender Man, but haven't suffered any nightmares for the past few years. I wouldn't refer to my fiction as negativity, because fiction is meant to evoke emotion and to entertain. To me, entertainment through fiction is a positive. Sometimes, the darkness a fictitious character endures is outshone by the ending or the underlying message within the story. That message, whether bluntly realistic, fairly bittersweet, or remedially bright, can impact a reader in a positive way. That is my goal: to make memorable stories. There are many things one would have to answer for in a theistic afterlife, and to me, writing fiction is not the worst item on that list.(less)
