Dillon - Chief Gopher
Dillon was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, and now lives in Colorado with his wife and two children. He works as a civil engineer managing transportation infrastructure projects, but his off-hours belong to stories. Short-form content, worldbuilding, and an ever-evolving multiverse of burrowing rodent psionics grown alongside the Gopherit community.
A fan of sci-fi since childhood, Dillon has also spent years playing Dungeons & Dragons and Dungeon Mastering campaigns—experience that shaped his love of character-driven adventure. The Burrowing Rodent Empire: Origins is his debut novel.
This is just the surface of what is to come. The multiverse is infinite, and so are his
ideas.
See you in Sector 27 🫡
