Michael H. Levy was born in the Bronx, New York. He received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the City College of New York and New York University. In graduate school, he specialized in American history and East Asian history. For 29 years, Mike was a historian with the United States Air Force. Before retiring from the federal government, he worked for four years as a writer/editor with the Bureau of Land Management. The wilderness experience has been very important to him. For 13 years, Mike and his friends spent three to four weeks each summer canoeing Canada’s wild rivers. It was on these expeditions to northern Ontario and Quebec and the arctic and subarctic regions of the Northwest Territories that he became serious about sharing the beauty and wonder of nature with others. From 1984 to 2004, he did nature photography professionally. Mike began working part-time for International Historical Research Associates in October 2005 and lives in Broomfield, Colorado.

Levy is a co-author of Rampage of the Roarin’ 20’s, and Harvest of the Grim Reapers Volume II in the Eagles Over The Pacific series.
