A native of Washington State, Collin grew up NOT liking reading stories or school in general. Girls, sports, and working held much more appeal for the young Collin. He graduated from Moses Lake High School despite lack of regular attendance then journeyed forth towards Boise State in Idaho where he received a B.A. in Social Science. His dream was to practice law with his father and brother; a dream that he pursued vigorously in his undergraduate education. Little did he know that his father would leave the practice of law and his brother would make plans to head to Costa Rica (No, really I'm serious). While these career developments were unexpected, even more unexpected was Collin's growing interest in writing and story telling. After reading several stories (averaging a book a week for almost a whole year), he developed a story idea and started to write.
Podcast novels and writing in general were much like his move to SOUTH DAKOTA (Yes, I said South Dakota); random and totally unexpected. Collin spent a year writing a story with a Roman Gods theme then came to a real and terrible realization, Fantasy fans are brutal. Absolutely brutal! If they like you, man they REALLY like you. If they don't...well let's not talk about that. From that moment, Collin spent many hours reworking The House of Grey into a story that Fantasy fans (and everyone else hopefully) will enjoy, gleaning ideas from many independent literary sources from Indian folklore to Japanese anime. After graduating from the University of South Dakota Law School, Collin, his smoldering wife, and two beautiful daughters moved down the street from Chris in good ol' Colorado. Collin passed the Bar and is currently working as an attorney and vigorously writing fantastical stories for his fans.
(Oddly enough, writing in the third person is very strange when writing about yourself.)
Each and every week, thousands of listeners hear the sultry voice of Chris Snelgrove as they listen to the first book of The House of Grey series. This is the first podcasting work that Chris has been involved in, but he is definitely not new to the voice-acting scene. Chris has had a successful vocal career yelling at other drivers when they cut him off, acting surprised when his wife inquires if he remembered that she asked him to switch the laundry, and especially using his vocal chords to act like a big shot when he is managing the ankle biters on his son's T-ball team.
Chris has a BA in Psychology, which has served him well in explaining to concerned coworkers, friends, strangers on the street, and family members why he constantly talks to himself. He is a master of 'on-the-side' endeavors, such as making money for being a human guinea pig, being the local 'Geek Squad' for elderly gambling addicts, and creative consulting for podcast novels. Chris has been consulting on The House of Grey for the better part of 3 years. Chris enjoys getting worked over by his 7 and 4-year olds playing Guitar Hero, offering free therapy services for displaced squirrels, and switching the laundry. Chris lives with his gorgeous wife and three wonderful boys in Centennial Colorado (the epitome of suburbia) just southeast of Denver.
