John Green, author and a semi-professional videoblogger, lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, with his wife, Sarah and his dog Willy. He was born in Indianapolis in 1977, grew up in Florida and then moved to Alabama where he attended Indian Springs School, a boarding and day school outside of Birmingham. The setting for his first book, Looking for Alaska, which won the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award, was largely inspired by his time at Indian Springs School.
