Tento autor, inšpirovaný rodičmi a pokojným detstvom stráveným pri jazere, sa stal celoživotným spisovateľom. Jeho tvorba sa rodí z hlbokého čitateľského zážitku a reflexie tichých okamihov, ktoré pripomínajú letné dni bez moderného rozptýlenia. Povzbudenie od učiteľa v ranom veku a následné skúsenosti v hudbe a vydavateľstve formovali jeho jedinečný prístup k písaniu. Dnes nachádza inšpiráciu v izolovanom prostredí svojej pracovne, kde sa odrážajú spomienky na pokojné roky, a pripomína, že k úspechu stačí jeden krok a jedno slovo po druhom.
