B.T. Slader is an electrical engineer working for a small office in Dayton, Ohio. He is also an Officer for the U.S. Air Force Reserve. He has a vast love for the sciences and space, actively supports nature conservation and animal rights, and possesses a great desire for world peace.

B.T. knows he is not a great writer, for English class was never his strong point, but feels he gets his great ideas across effectively. Most of this book was written while at altitude. B.T. finds that flying not only makes one nervous, but allows one to focus that anxiety on creativity. Maybe there is something to the phrase, "Epiphany in the skies," but you can be the judge.

Doing his part to help others, B.T. will donate at least half of all iHero proceeds to charity and education, after taxes of course.
