Biography[edit]

Early life and education[edit]

Culver was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in September 1981. His family moved to Chickasha, Oklahoma shortly thereafter, later relocating to Newburgh, Indiana in 1988. An avid reader in elementary school, he developed an interest in crime fiction writing after acquiring a copy of Mickey Spillane's I, the Jury in a library book sale.[1]

Culver enrolled at Hanover College in 2000,[2] graduating from there with a bachelor's degree in philosophy in 2004. After marrying a fellow Hanover College graduate, he enrolled in law school. He subsequently enrolled in a philosophy doctoral program at Purdue University,[3] where he also taught undergraduate students as a graduate assistant.[4]
