Born in New Jersey in 1963, Aaron Colbert learned to create stories as a child while attending school and earning consistently high marks in his writing classes. He developed a centered spiritual essence very early on, and would sit with his grandmother and discuss spiritual topics with her. 

He has a Certificate in Computer Technology from Union Technical Institute and a B.S. in Physics from Kutztown University. While attaining higher education, he earned a reputation as an astute dungeon master.  

He worked for several defense contractors in support of U.S. Army's Communications and Electronics Command (CECOM). He thought about writing, but his focus serving the Warfighter kept him from indulging until 2003, when he began to write Origins outline.
