Dom's Bio
Dom Testa is an award-winning author, speaker, and broadcaster. For the past decade he has captained The Dom and Jane Show on Denver's Mix100, and with an audience of nearly a quarter-million people per day, he's become an extended family member to generations of listeners. The Dom and Jane Show twice has been named Best Morning Show by the Colorado Broadcasters Association.
At an early age Dom recognized a love of writing. In his teens and twenties he wrote both fiction and non-fiction that ranged from articles and essays to short stories and (sadly, unfinished) novels. In 1999, inspired by volunteer work with local schools, he began writing what would become the beloved Galahad series. The first novel in the series, The Comet's Curse, burst onto the scene by winning an international grand prize from Writer's Digest Magazine and an EVVY Award for Best Young Adult Book. Published by the popular imprint Tor Teen, the Galahad series continues to garner critical acclaim and an adoring fan base of all ages.
His love of writing led Dom to work with students, and to the creation of his foundation, The Big Brain Club. What began with writing workshops and assemblies has grown into a national online community, a powerful in-school program that helps publish teenage authors, and a year-round schedule of professional presentations to student bodies and educators alike. Working in conjunction with The Big Brain Club, Dom helps teachers and parents learn how to better reach a generation that is increasingly ambivalent about the importance of reading and writing. It's a timely message, and one that is making a difference in the lives of kids all across the U.S.
Dom Testa continues to live in, and love, Colorado, where he leads an active outdoor lifestyle and is active in the community. He has a grown son, and a Ficus tree that's been with him for almost 20 years.
