Brian Colella, a lifelong resident of Western Pennsylvania, holds a PhD in Public and International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh. Drawing on thirty-five years of firefighting experience, he writes fast-paced action tales that celebrate everyday heroes—ordinary people who rise to confront extraordinary challenges.

An avid runner, history buff, amateur photographer, classic rock fan, and 2nd generation Camaro enthusiast, he and his wife Karen can often be found exploring Pittsburgh’s many parks, coffee shops, libraries, and bookstores.
