Brian Benson

Brian Benson grew up in northern Wisconsin, just across the road from a lake shaped like a heart, and just outside a town with three bars and no stoplights. Much of his youth was spent biking back roads, chasing soccer balls, and variously injuring himself in the bountiful woods and water. At eighteen, Brian headed to UW-Madison, where he pursued two lib-arts degrees and took zero creative writing classes, and after a few years of bouncing around the Americas on bus and bike, he ended up in Portland, Oregon, where he spends his days talking about how much he misses Wisconsin.
