Jeff V. Erickson

Growing up in the sunny city of St. Petersburg, Florida, Jeff Erickson displayed an interest in writing during his childhood days. Even at a young age, he managed to get a few of his short stories published in local newspapers.

Later in life, before re-discovering his passion for writing, Jeff established “Erickson Scientific Illustration”, primarily focusing on various marine sciences. He dedicated several years to providing artistic services to organizations such as NOAA, The Office of Naval Research (ONR), and The Cousteau Foundation, among others. Along the way, Jeff also illustrated several publications in the scientific and technical realm.

He now lives in Clearwater, Florida, spending as much time as possible with his son, Orion, and three feral cats who have adopted him. Jeff also enjoys just about anything to do with the outdoors.
