Blair was born in Garner, NC; and was raised by that rural life along with his education in Raleigh. For college he went to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where he acquired a degree in English, focusing on classical and avant-garde literature - especially Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Black Mountain College artists. These studies under those teachers at that small college by the sea formed his inextinguishable passion for writing. After graduating in 2016, Blair moved back to Raleigh where he works for Denim Buffalo Films (owned by Director Patrick Shanahan) as an actor and staff writer.
