Terrence Kero is an electronic engineer who holds patents in computerized speech recognition and high-speed data networks. His interest in tracing his Finnish-American family roots led him to explore the early history of human migration, which became the foundation for his work as a writer.
His writing is grounded in over ten years of research in anthropology and human genetics, along with personal travels along rivers, mountain ranges, and migration routes around the world. He has shared his knowledge as a guest lecturer at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and other universities.
Terrence was born in Moose Lake, Minnesota, and currently lives in Pacifica, California, a suburb of San Francisco, with his wife, Takoma.
