D.J. Kirkbride

Rugged. Manly. Green Lantern-ish.
Ninjas and burritos fear only one man: D.J. Kirkbride. Born the mall-infested state of Ohio some 42 years ago, D.J. took to making stuff up at an early age when he realized that reality was boring. After questionable schooling still being paid off and some menial jobs, D.J. took his leave of the Buckeye state, eventually landing in southern California despite his fear of the sun and the physically fit. While writing for various publications and constantly changing his facial hair at every whim, D.J. dreams of one day being paid substantially for both.
Writing influences: David Sedaris, the lyrical poetry of Phil Collins, Dave Eggars, Chipotle soda cups, Douglas Adams, Brian K. Vaughan, Judy Blume, Michael Chabon, and oh so many more.
Superpower: The ability to eat twice his considerable body weight whether hungry or not. Oh, and he can fly. Yeah. D.J. can fly like a damn bird.
