Author

Greg Dorchak was born in Virginia and grew up in The Adirondacks of New York State. He later returned to the Hampton Roads area, where he finished high school.

Moving to Nevada after graduation, 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 misfit crew 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.
