Haledy inspired Percy Jackson And The Olympians
Haley inspired his father to write a series of six fantasy novels, Percy Jackson and The Olympians.
He shared that he was a middle school teacher and wrote adult mystery novels then.
Haley was in elementary school and was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia.
He was just nine years old and struggling with ADHD and dyslexia at home.
Haley was having a hard time at school, so his father told him Greek myths during bedtime.
He loved Greek myths, so his dad used to tell original stories.
His dad ran out of the stories and made stories on his own. He combined that with his writing and teaching.
He was worried for his son as a father and wanted to show his life for him, so he invented a new Greek myth about Percy Jackson, who also had ADHD and dyslexia, and got to know that those were the signs of a demigod.
He wanted to tell his son that if he had ADHD and dyslexia in Percy Jackson's world, then it was a good sign that he was exceptional and a demigod.
Rick told that story to his son, and he encouraged his father to write it down.

Haley was born on 10 September 1994. His current age is 29 years old.
