Anderson began writing at an early age. After his account of attending a paleontological dig during a summer field trip was published by a local magazine, he wrote short educational articles for local publications throughout his younger years.
He attended the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore where he majored in Painting with a Creative Writing minor.
His writing frequently focuses on the intersection of religion, government, and psychology, with a heavy interest in the mythological, and a deep curiosity for the ramifications of technology on society and the environment.
Anderson, 36, lives in Seattle.
