Rick Conall was born in Miami in 1978 to a middle-class family and raised and lived in Miami Springs. He has a degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, which stimulated him to continue as a researcher at the University of Michigan. Once married, he decided to stay home and help his wife with the three beautiful kids they had. He became a writer at the end of 2015, at 37. His works try to help that fragile part of the population that has an addiction like alcoholism or gambling; all of this is thanks to his years of research in different fields of psychology, such as art therapy for troubled adolescents and adults.
