Biography

I’ve been writing or blogging for 25 years. I started writing to self soothe when coming down from Ecstasy. After I stopped doing drugs in early 2019, I needed something to do with myself besides drugs. I decided to get back into writing. I didn’t feel like being Logan Mora who ruined his career and burned all his bridges during the last 5 years of his addiction. He had to start from scratch with nothing but a backpack full of clothes in his early 40’s. Who’s going to want to read that loser’s writing? I became Hogan Torah. A parody of a Hollywood rich kid who owned two Yogurtlands and sold products on Amazon. The guy who’s having sex with your girlfriend when she doesn’t pick up. I amplified my own previous insecurities that were the root cause of 20 years of drug abuse and used it as a comic device. My work received 20 million views in the one year I was there before I was banned. I was the catalyst for a paradigm shift on Quora away from who’s right towards entertainment. People sent hundreds of unsolicited self shot nudes for my Boneyard space. Some say I ruined Quora. I say. Google me, I autofill. I made a conscious decision to become Hogan Torah full time. This is no longer an act. I am a performance artist using Medium as my medium. My Hebrew Name is Leib Minacham. I’m the son of a Mouseketeer and a Kent State massacre survivor. I was born in San Diego in the late 70's. Raised in Los Angeles in the late 80's. I’ve lived all over Southern California. From Chula Vista to Santa Barbara. I come from a long line of bad asses. My father Brady Morrow was president of a bank, original Mickey Mouse Club actor and well connected. He passed from cancer in 1999. My sister Cerise Ibach is the owner of Oceana Hook and Line Fresh Seafood Market. My mother would rather I leave her out of my stories. So I do. I went to CalArts for 4 years. Mostly to bang art broads and do drugs. Today I choose to post my work on Medium but am always looking for the next opportunity that's going to take me to where I want to be.
