JOJO ELMQUIST
“I was born and raised in Colorado and currently live in Denver. After working in information technology for over 25 years, first in the dotcom sphere and then in healthcare, I decided to hang up my computer bag and start writing the various stories of my travels and life. I had been telling these stories for years and my friends and family encouraged me to write them down. Now, I’m writing and sharing the stories at storytelling events around the state. Even friends who have known me for over 20 years frequently say, ‘Well, I’ve never heard that one!’
Once I get enough content written, I hope to publish a book (or two) with these stories. Enjoy!”
