Will Bontrager was raised Amish in Iowa and Wisconsin, USA. (There's lots to say about the Amish, but that's outside the scope of this particular profile. If interested, do a web search for "Old Order Amish".)

At almost 17 years of age, during year 1970, he left home to go to high school and experience the world outside the Amish community. He never returned to the Amish lifestyle.

His primary interests, other than interacting with people, are cooking, writing software, and writing both non-fiction and fiction.

He has been cooking pretty much all of his adult life, and is now writing about it.

He has been writing software exclusively for websites since 1997. The software website with a lot of his non-fiction articles is Willmaster.com.

His non-fiction Amish recipes, fiction stories, tools for writers, and other interesting content are at the WillBontrager.com website.

Life is too fun to slow down.
