Garret D. Onderdonk III is still telling stories. Garret’s family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in the middle of his senior year in high school. Before the year ended, he died. A resuscitated Garret graduated with a diploma in the mail and a new attitude. He enlisted and became a qualified submarine sailor. He saw a large part of the world. After discharge, he went on to bartending. Next, a professional firefighter. A couple of friends gave him a wrecker, so Garret opened a wrecking yard. He then parlayed it into numerous businesses employing 183 people. He moved on as an entrepreneur, opening and selling numerous businesses. Garret married the most perfect woman in the world. Wanting to raise a family and live in a normal town, they sold the business and moved to Austin, Texas. Garret retired from the state of Texas as a project manager. The little voices in his head told him to keep writing.

Garret graduated magna cum laude from Texas State University.
Earned the title Distinguished Toastmaster, writing and delivering over 100 speeches. Spent five years as a professional firefighter. Held a Texas State master’s license in air conditioning and refrigeration.
