Born into a family of average, suburban circus performers, Daniel Caeton seemed destined for a quotidian life of taming lions and swallowing swords. Yet, he defied convention to become a swashbuckling English professor.

After nearly failing high school, he miraculously graduated with honors from the University of California, Berkeley, with a B.A. in Sociology and a minor in Women’s Studies. For over a year of his undergraduate studies, he lived in Wellington, New Zealand, and studied at Victoria University, all the while honing his bungee-jumping skills. At the urging of his cosmically patient wife, he earned an M.A. in English from California State University, Fresno. He then naïvely undertook doctoral work in the Graduate Group of Cultural Studies at the University of California, Davis. Though he passed qualifying exams and all course work, he left ABD to pursue a full-time position at Fresno City College. As of the writing of this biography, Daniel Caeton has been a full-time instructor in the English department at Fresno City College for 235,874,196.375 seconds.

His hobbies include hiking in the Sierra Nevadas and amassing unread back issues of The New Yorker. Were he a vegetable, he would likely be kohlrabi.

Daniel Caeton has never been to Ogallala, Nebraska, and he intends to keep it that way.
