Caleb J. Oakes
Caleb J. Oakes really dislikes doing bios. He has a B.A. in creative writing from some university. How typical. He is unwilling to go any further in his education because he believes that education is becoming far too industrialized. But that is just his opinion. Most days he looks for a bit of sunshine to sit in as he reads, or a bit of music to hear as he lifts in the garage. There’s not much to tell. He prefers to be underestimated; appearing as a billow of smoke when he is actually the fire.
