ryanbutkus@gmail.com BioI grew up in Waukegan, Illinois, the hometown of Ray Bradbury and Jack Benny, but I currently live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was a computer programmer for 7 years but I'm taking a break from it at the moment to concentrate on writing and determining what I want to do next. Most frequently, I write short stories, screenplays and essays.
I lived in Waukegan until I went to Northern Illinois University in 1997. I graduated in 1999 and moved to Chicago shortly thereafter, working for a small dotcom until 2001. Moving to Philly came next and that pretty much brings us to today.
I welcome email from any and all, so drop me a note sometime. Feel free to add me to your friends list; I'm not sure why some people get bent out of shape about that.
