The "about" section of his website:

Uri was born in the Soviet Union in 1985 and for his sins was sent to Israel in 1989. He’s an avid hiker and has gone on hundreds of small adventures all over Israel. His day job is playing D&D with kids and teenagers in schools and community centers. Yeah, he can’t believe it either.

His writing is deeply inspired by all of the above—the refugee experience, the exciting and secret places he found on his small adventures, and the cool stories woven with his young (and old) players. Also, he often makes stuff up.

Uri’s RPG writing has been published by WotC, Paizo, Mongoose and other less savory venues. which, if you value your sanity, you’re strongly discouraged from pursuing. You’ve been warned.

When not writing or working, he’s looking for strange new places or climbing trees for no reason. When not doing even that, he sleeps. Fitfully, like a dog chasing a rabbit in a dream.

Fun facts about Uri:

– He is fluent in Russian, Hebrew, and English. He knows enough French to start a war but not to end it.

– He attracts animals like a Disney princess. One time, a pigeon landed on his head and stayed there for an hour.

– He attempted to arrest a porcupine once. However, the porcupine won. Porcupines always win.

– He literally lives under a rock. This explains his unusual views on most current events.
