He's also given talks at the Kenton County Library, Louisville Library, and various fire museums. He was born in and raised in New York City (born 1961 - ). Chlanda came to Yellow Springs to go to Antioch College. When Maples (the college fire department) found out Chlanda had been an ER Tech in a Manhattan emergency room, they made him join. Chlanda fell in love with the fire service and after college, he joined the village fire department, ending up taking injury retirement as a fire lieutenant. Chlanda started writing his first book, "Maples: A History of the Antioch College Fire Department", a history of the only student-run fire department in the world, for something to do in between surgeries and rehab. When it sold over 2600 copies the first year, he thought he could make a living at this writing thing. He lives outside Cincinnati, Ohio, but wishes he could be in New York City.
