Devlin was born in Youngstown, Ohio, but resides in Cleveland. He has been a teacher for over twenty years and is a professional artist and an avid reader and writer of stories. His first book, "Winning the Toss" is a self-help manual that focuses on helping African-American males through sports. His art is highly sought after and he spends much of his free time creating art, writing stories and helping kids.
Now, all that being said, he writes stories to change lives and paints pictures to teach the truth. Each stroke of the pen and swipe of the brush is homage paid to the great artist and writers that influenced him as a child and adult. He writes and makes art for the people.
