About the Author:

Baron was born and raised in the limestone capital of the world, Bedford, IN. He loves having fun as an orthodontist and creating social media videos. Baron is a certified rescue diver, self-taught bagpiper (albeit rusty), and he can run faster than a speeding banana slug. He lives with his wife and three kids in Bedford.

His proudest accomplishment is being a dad. For the longest time, he was one of those “I’m never having kids” people, but having his own kids has opened his eyes in ways he never thought possible. He’s also very proud to be with the same amazing woman since they were 15/14-years old.
