Joey Ossian was born in Tecumseh, Nebraska, in September of 1964. He also graduated high school from there, but spent a good deal of time in between being moved around the Midwest by his father in his quest for the perfect job.
After four years in the Marine Corps, during his Nebraska National Guard days, Joey became an elementary teacher, and spent two years as a K-12 Principal before getting deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Mr. Ossian now works with the National Guard, shoots competitively, writes, and watches his children grow. Joey lives with his wife and three children near Columbus, Nebraska.
