Colin Gillette

Colin Gillette is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Forest View Counseling Services in Rockford, Illinois. He was raised on gravel roads, hose water, and the quiet conviction that most things worth doing don’t come with instructions. A former child protection worker, he now rides with a nonprofit of bikers who empower abused children and writes under a few regrettable pseudonyms for The Paper, a local underground publication where satire still smokes unfiltered. He gardens like it matters, lifts like it hurts, and plays D&D when reality needs a better plot. His backyard’s a farm, and his hope is stubborn.
