Rusty Burson
Biography
Rusty Burson is a native of the Pacific Northwest and currently lives in the city of Banks, Oregon. Aside from writing, his hobbies are fishing, camping, astronomy, singing, playing and writing music and riding his bicycle. He enjoys the simple things in life, like listening to the wind blowing through the trees, the sound of the ocean surf and listening to the music of nature. When asked what he hears, his usual answer is "I hear the universe singing to me."
Rusty developed a passion for story telling shortly after college. Oh yes, his education. Rusty started his college years in the summer of 1969. What an experience! He was able to make it through alright, with only minor cuts and bruises. And for his efforts, he completed four years of education at Portland State University, Oregon, in only six years! Or was it seven? Well, what do you expect when you spend your time hustling pool and playing cards rather than attending classes. Anyway, six year is not bad for those crazy years don’t you think.Of course, 'all of the 'straights' did it faster, but they probably didn't have as much fun', Rusty has said. For his efforts, once he finally got kicked out of school and then found meaning for his life to continue his education, he received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History, where he specialized in the History of Germany and the History of Christianity. He also had sub-specialty work in both Greek and Roman history.
After college, Rusty went on to study at the well respected Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota and graduated with a Master of Divinity degree. One could say, given all of the writing that was involved in that part of the journey, that it was then that he began his writing career. But unfortunately, one can not say that. Regardless, he had to write a lot of papers! And that, not just as punishment for skiving off chapel to play pool or ping pong.
Oddly enough, seminary was where he had his most challenging moments with regard to his faith. But, that is a story for another time.
