About ...

J. Landren Wilborn, Jr.

I was born in a place called Ft.Campbell, Ky. The son of a military man. As a child I traveled Europe taking in new cultures and experiences. My life as a military dependent fueled my creativity. During this time I decided writing would be an important part of my life.

Austin Peay State University     1982 - 1986

It was during my years at APSU that I got a chance to try the various writing styles of the world and find what I liked best. I served as reporter and news editor for the college paper, The All-State. Being a journalist gave me the opportunity to write for a specific audience with general interests.  I found I liked journalism ... still do.  I write for Spokane's African American Voice.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation     1986 - 1988

Working as a criminal investigator - special agent didn't give me much of an opportunity to write in the manner I was used to while in university.  But it did give me valuable experience that I use in my writings.  Much of what I did write as an agent was related to investigation cases.  Not very interesting reading for the public, but very educational for me.

US Military     1982 - 1997

I was in the US Marine Corps Reserve from 1982-88 and active US Air Force from 1988-97.  My years in the military allowed me to continue my travels as well as hone my technical writing skills.  I did not know how much I really enjoyed technical writing and researching until I was called upon to write technical documents, checklists, and training manuals for the Air Force.

I continued using my technical writing skills while serving as a supervisor for JME.  I wrote training manuals, technical orders, operating procedures, and equipment checklists.

Red Horse Research     1999 - Present

It was only natural that I would take all my skills and experience and pour them into my own business.  With RHR I can continue writing, researching, and calling on my various experiences to produce quality writings.  I find now that not only do I enjoy writing technical documents, but I believe my diverse background gives me a comfortable advantage while writing creatively.
