Gordan Runyan is a husband, father, Christian, Reformed Baptist, pastor, war veteran (having served in the Navy's nuclear submarine fleet during the first Persian Gulf war,) author, teacher, and Paleo-Patriot. He has been married to the former Miss Joyce Martinez for 27 years, since the day she reluctantly agreed to the arrangement in exchange for his daring rescue of her life, which included grand heroics he's too modest to relate in public (although a dungeon in an enchanted sea-side castle is rumored to have been involved.) They have three lovely and talented daughters who survived homeschooling with only slight nervous disorders.
