BIO:
Born in the small town of New Prague, Minnesota, and raised
amidst the sun-soaked landscapes of Scottsdale, Arizona, Cory
Mortensen embarked on a unique journey that shaped both his
life and literary career.
Choosing an unconventional path, his journey began with
dropping out of college to immerse himself with a job on Wake
Island, gaining valuable experiences that would later infuse his
writing with a distinctive perspective. Returning to the United
States, he started a dynamic career as a project manager for
several prestigious architecture firms, coupled with a venture into
real estate by flipping houses.
The allure of exploration took center stage when Cory made
the bold decision to sell everything and traverse the globe for two
transformative years. This period of travel not only broadened his
horizons but also laid the foundation for a successful
entrepreneurial endeavor. Cory established and grew a business
into a multimillion-dollar venture, eventually selling it to pursue a
shared dream with his wife, Kate.
