"May the shadow of the moon fall on a world at peace."
Quote by Frank Reynolds (ABC, 1979)
About Jacob Gregory Dammons
Jacob was raised in Hamtramck, Michigan-- a two square mile town inside Detroit, with a diverse enough population to match anywhere in the world. This showed him stories of Polish immigrants, Middle Eastern immigrants, black families, and more.
Moving to New Jersey in the middle of high school, and at least 7 times since, he's learned to adapt with his surroundings over the years.
Being mixed, he never really fit in with particular groups until he found solace in the LGBT community. He met innumerable creative peers and loved ones, inspiring him to create his own stories and collaborate on projects.
​
He's currently studying Digital Graphic Design and Creative Writing at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Michigan.
