Gordon Briley attended North Central Michigan College with creative writing being his primary focus. After becoming a father he headed into the direction of the health and fitness industry becoming a Nutritionist and a Certified Personal Trainer. Although health and fitness became his career he never lost the love of writing or creating poetry. After becoming a father for the second time Gordon, has focused his time and attention to creating stories for children. His direction was to create something different from the traditional type of children’s rhyming books and instead use rhyming to share stories of adventurous children such as his own.
