Jax Kearney grew up the 4th of five kids in the small town of Portland, Connecticut. Writing stories ever since the first grade, Jax had the gift of storytelling. As a freshman in high school, he was one of only 25 kids in the state to be selected to participate in Wesleyan University’s (Middletown, CT) prestigious “Center for Creative Youth” for creative writing. It was here that Jax learned that he could make a living off his creativity. He was one of the youngest students accepted that year, and learned to hone his writing craft and interact with 100 other artistic students in other artistic disciplines, (Acting, Music, Art, and Dance) in what he credits to this day as the most important influence on his creativity and budding style as a writer.
