Jacob Jun was born in Pusan, South Korea and has called California his home since his family emigrated there in the early 1980s. Growing up with video games, grunge music, and comic books, Jacob became an avid reader and geek, and those passions have followed him all over the world as he took up jobs as a teacher, writer, and editor. He now works as a photographer and writer based out of Salinas, and his experiences have helped him see the world as an artful place.
