Author Information

I discovered the Steve Birnbaum's Official Guide to Walt Disney World, when I was a kid. It taught me tips and strategies for that park. Our family went there nearly every year. We also visited Cedar Point, Busch Gardens in Tampa, Geauga Lake in Aurora, Ohio and several others. I went on to write up multi-page guides for friends based on my experience. They returned enthusiastic about how the notes helped them to have a strategy to work through the park. They did everything they wanted and had time left over. Now I live very close to Kings Island, near Cincinnati, Ohio. I've grown to know this park and its weekly and seasonal variations quite well. A year ago, while observing some very stressed families, kids screaming, I decided to write a guide. That idea became the 2017 Kings Island Park Hacks book. The ideas kept coming, both through comments with the audience and also as we had more experience. I also found another enthusiastic Park Hacker, and invited her to partner with me to develop that Kings Island book's next edition and this book, a book that shares similar tips that aren't specific to one park. We decided to point out ways to build similar strategies for whatever amusement park that you visit. A few biographical notes about me. At the time of publishing, I'm 44 years old. I live in West Chester, Ohio with my wife Lesley and our three fun kids ages 15, 13 and 4. Besides writing about and enjoying amusement parks, I'm a creative director, multimedia expert, and digital marketing consultant in the Cincinnati and Dayton markets.
