Don Hilton was raised in a small town in northwest Pennsylvania by a family of “unapologetic storytellers” and was never quite sure if the tales he heard were true.
His life has been a broad mix of experiences; boat pilot, lab technician, sweetheart, husband, post-graduate research fellow, geologist, statistician, teacher, stand-up comedian, computer support analyst, father, martial arts instructor, freelance writer, and author.
According to Don, he’s done lots of dumb things that should have “killed him dead”.
The constant in Don’s life has been his storytelling. He claims that he’s still not as good as the old folks he used to listen to, but that he’s getting there.
