Kirk Sassak is an experienced mechanical engineer and the Engineering Manager in the ePowertrain division of a global automotive driveline supplier. With nearly three decades in the automotive industry, Kirk brings a structured, analytical mindset to everything he does—including his writing.

His journey as an author began unexpectedly in 2011 through poetry while living abroad in Celaya, Mexico. Although his creative spark went dormant for years, the political and media chaos of 2020 reignited his passion to speak up.

Combining technical clarity with artistic flair, Kirk wrote Breaking Deceptions to expose the rise of biased media and challenge readers to question the narratives being pushed on them.

He lives in Michigan and holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from Oakland University.
