“We all face grief and loss in life. For my wife and I, it has been 20 years since we lost our son Brock. How do we move forward from these moments in our lives?

For me it has been writing Brock’s story. I have been given the chance to get to know both he and his friends. This journey has been a wild ride, a true tale of finding one’s way in a world full of adventure, trials, dragons, love, friendship, grief, destiny, and finding one’s purpose.”

Jeremy’s main goal in sharing Brock’s story is to help others on their journey through life. He has taken valuable lessons and universal truths from his own life and incorporated these into the book. When Jeremy is not working on this project, you can find him spending quality time with his family and friends, enhancing his musical and artistic talents, and challenging himself outdoors.

“Put in the hard work to find your purpose and you will never look back and regret it.”

Jackson Deshazer

Jackson has been a true companion in writing Brock’s story. Countless hours of discussion and collaboration together. He is the composer of the companion soundtrack that we have created for Brock’s story.

Since childhood, Jackson has always had a passion for music. To Jackson, music is the purest form of expression. From playing piano to guitar, he’s found great joy in creating music and views his guitars as his legendary axes. When Jackson is not creating and composing songs, you can find him spending time with his fiance, reading books, and exercising.

Jackson encourages anyone interested in creating music to jump on the journey and begin learning songs you want to learn right away. Music is an art that takes time and it is important not to compare yourself to others.
