Education

Myers holds an undergraduate degree in communications and journalism from CW Post (Long Island University) and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where he attended as a Time Warner Scholar.

When not working on the latest Black Camelot installment, he remains a dreamer who still believes in the ability of mortals to fly.
