A promising soccer player in his high school years, Cassady broke his leg and, well, that ended. Dreams ruined, he struggled through seven years of work at a game store in the Inland Empire while he was in a mediocre BA English program before giving up on that job (to focus on his MA). Since then, he has been working and working and working and it really hasn't stopped because much like this sentence the world goes on and on and on, but hey, at least he picked up a couple pugs along the way to help push back the just overwhelming despair that seems to be the world today. Anyway, he moved to Redlands, which—much as the name implies—is basically a desert, which (shocker) just keeps. getting. hotter. Like every year. What's with that? You might see him out jogging weekday mornings, fighting that overwhelming urge to jump into traffic and get his bills paid, but hey, it could be worse! At least his knees haven't given out before thirty!
