Gary Kinswa Biography
[edit]My name is Gary Kinswa. I am an English major who is minoring in Education and Journalism.
Early Life
[edit]I was born in Upland, California but raised from age 3 in Spokane, Washington. Growing up was very challenging for me. I was raised by an emotionally abusive Mother and a physically abusive Father. At 15 years old I became an emancipated minor and dropped out of high school in order to support myself. Fortunately, later in life, I ended up married to a wonderful woman who believes in me and helps me to believe in myself.
Personal Life
[edit]My wife Melissa and I have been married now for 16 wonderful years. We have 4 amazing children (Kaleb 15, Logan 8, Dexter 2, and Crosby 3 months).
Interests
[edit]- Football - I am a huge Seattle Seahawks fan and my son plays for Mater Dei
- Reading - My favorite author is J.K. Rowling. I love the way that she is able to blend the real world with a world of her own creation in her Harry Potter series
- Writing - My dream is to one day become a novelist similar to Dave Berry or Derek Landy
