Jason Russell Yanofski was born in New York on May 21, 1980. He graduated from West Orange High School in West Orange, New Jersey in 1998 at the top of his class. During high school he was active as a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician for the West Orange First Aid Squad, aiding his community. He also served as Youth Squad Captain recruiting, training, and leading the rest of the team. Jason participated in scientific research through Rutgers University, helping to genetically determine the phylogenetic tree of the onion. He was active in the National Honor Society and as a captain on the wrestling team. He also took advanced college courses at night, as well as receiving countless academic awards. Jason also worked as a computer consultant and technician for companies as a personal agent.

Jason was accepted into a combined 6-year BA/MD accelerated medical program through Lehigh University in affiliation with MCP Hahnemann University. Impressively, he was able to pass his Medical College Admissions Test requirement the summer before matriculation to college, just after his eighteenth birthday. At Lehigh, Jason was a Dean's scholar and was known as an active student on campus. He was a brother of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity (being the first student in the history of the combined program at Lehigh to pledge) and served as scholarship chair.

Jason is creative, ambitious, and has an unparalleled sense of humor. Everyone who knows him agrees that there is no doubt his ingenuity will take him far in life, within the medical field and outside of it. This book is his first major literary project, and he hopes it will change the lives of his readers. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
