Jody Rutkowski is an IT infrastructure estimator and father who grew up in the Berkshires where he studied theatre arts. At 21 he moved to NYC. As the frontman of a band, he signed to RCA Records with a nationally distributed single but soon left music to raise his three daughters.

Determined to stay connected to the arts, Jody found a new passion in writing. Inspired by his daughters' love for origin stories and fantasy books, he crafted an unconventional tale about the first St. Nicholas, blending enchanted stories with history.  .
