About Kraig Olson
Kraig Olson spent years mastering the intricate language of health care revenue cycle management, only to be humbled by a four-year-old who refuses to pronounce the letter R. The inspiration for his book series came from the realization that his most difficult coaching assignment wasn’t on the ball field—it was at the dinner table. In addition it is helping his three sons navigate the phonetic bridge between a “wock” and a “rock.” With three boys and a thirteen-week-old puppy named Kash, his home is a living laboratory for speech development. Kraig is a devoted husband to Kristina, an avid golfer, and a writer who believes that every child deserves to find their voice even if it takes a little extra practice to get the R right.
Make sure you pick up his book, The Remarkable Wanderings of Ryker and Rhett: Watch Out, World wherever your purchase books. In addition, follow him on Instagram over at @KraigOlson_author.
