Author

Greg Dorchak was born in Portsmouth, VA, and grew up in The Adirondacks of New York State. He returned to the Tidewater Region with his mother after his parents divorced, finishing high school in the Hampton Roads area.

In High School, he wrestled, acted in plays, and was named Class Clown. He performed stand-up and improv while living in Las Vegas, where he attended UNLV working on a filmmaking degree.

An actor, writer, artist, and filmmaker, he wrote and directed the award-winning feature-length film Kopy Kings, a workplace comedy about the misfits at a 24-hour copy center.

Dorchak lives in Austin with his wife. He paints whimsical art for the average person, putters, and enjoys working on his car every now and again.

Light bulbs trigger him something wicked.
