P.H. Mountain was partially educated at the University of Minnesota before earning his undergraduate degree from the Boulder Public Library and his masters from The Sundown Saloon. At twenty-nine, he started a software company that continues to thrive. He has lived in three different vehicles, fifteen different states, and five different countries, but he generally considers Colorado home. In a moment of clarity, Paul married his wife Stella in 2001. To this day, he still considers her the luckiest woman alive.
Paul credits the majority of his work ethic to a paralyzing fear of outside employment in legitimate places of business. Deeply opposed to the 8:00 to 5:00 world, the thought of waking up each morning and going to an actual job keeps Paul firmly planted at his desk, doing whatever it takes to escape the nightmarish grind.
Pepperoni, Jalapenos & LSD is the first volume in a multi-volume series titled, The World is My Ashtray. Volume 2 is scheduled for release in early summer, 2023.
