Tony Richard Rodriguez was born in Fremont, California on August 22, 1977. He is currently a middle school teacher. When Tony is not speaking to seagulls, chasing albino whales, hiking up mountains while identifying with Dharma Bums, playing with the Brown Buffalo in Las Vegas, or meeting five people in Heaven, Tony spends his time fighting the Shingles virus, ravaging Pillsbury chocolate chip cookies, meeting with parents about concerned students, and pointing out fiction in a best-selling novel proclaiming to possess “FACTS”. Imaginatively, he still lives in San Francisco, California. He is the mad author of the two novels The Disappearance and the Slow Awakening and Rapid Eye Metaphors.
