With a focus on art in high-school, he went on to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. There he studied in the fine arts programs while also dabbling in the time arts classes, delving heavily into video editing and image manipulation.

Returning to Indiana, Michael went on to spend time as a music journalist and photographer for a local paper and city related websites (Nuvo, IndianapolisMusic.Net, IndyScribe, IndyGoth).

In addition to playing in a local punk rock band, Michael enjoys web design, plenty of video games, palm trees, and laying mulch.

Dan Van Duyn was born the youngest of four children to a rural family 20 miles east of Indianapolis. Early in his childhood he took to reading and writing, enjoying stories of all types. At this young age he met WJ on a school bound bus one morning, and they became fast and enduring friends.

Throughout the later years of Middle and High school, WJ and Dan's similar interests and attitudes in life helped them form a creative and comedic bond, which only cemented their friendship further. They would make up ad-lib short stories, seeing who could outdo one another in outlandishness of plot device and inventiveness of plot turns. High school saw this creative tension develop into skit comedy in drama class, both in improvisational comedy and comedic vignettes, as well as the epic story "Mad Tiff: Beyond Hoosier Dome" (althought honestly WJ created virtually all of the plot content).

During the college years, Dan and WJ split briefly to explore their separate paths. Dan worked toward a degree in education as well as in world history. During off times, Dan would try his hand at writing narrative prose in the form of adventure short stories.

After graduating with a BA in Secondary Education, Dan grew frustrated with the politics of teaching, and decided to strike at a more creative career path. Luckily for Dan, WJ has started the beginnings of a truly great writing partnership, Writers of the Storm. In this partnership WJ has given Dan the opportunity to join this incredibly talented ring of individuals to produce some of the most original and high quality material the film industry has yet to see.

After a small time at Illinois State, Doug moved to Indianapolis to start over anew. He joined a band named Titus as their lead singer. As a member of Titus he quickly developed his writing technique writing original songs for the band. The band, now known as Project Hero (www.projectheroband.com) still uses some of the material he’s written to this day.

While waiting for the record contract he worked at a fine dining Italian restaurant where he met WJ. The life long friendship had begun. Doug met the rest of the Storm crew through WJ.

Doug now lives in Florida selling real estate, just like the rest of the people who live there and aren’t retired. He continues to hold true to his upbringing - staying in close touch with his friends and family, being a true Cubs fan, and staying close with God. In his off times he enjoys video games, movies, music, sports, and video games. Someday when he retires his goals are to travel a lot... and play video games.

It was during graduate school and working for corporate America that he finally realized it was time to grow up and pursue his dream of writing for film and television. Writers of the Storm is that perfect opportunity to Stuart to use both is business acumen learned from years of "playing it safe" as well as his wildly childlike creative powers and endless energy.

Lastly, having an adventurous streak as well as martial arts training, Stuart craves action and has also set his sites on getting a short cameo in one of their films in which he portrays a lackey who meets his demise in a notable, albeit likely violent, manner.
