Jay Eckert


Biography

Jay Eckert lives with his wife and two children in northwestern New Jersey. Ever since he parked himself in front of an Atari 800 computer some hundred years ago, Jay has been a programmer and video game nut at heart. The tales of a certain bespectacled boy wizard rekindled a slumbering love of writing, which began in college with a focus on playwriting. He's passed on his video game enthusiasm to his son, and his love of writing to his daughter.
