- Bio
- Chicago native; long-time public affairs specialist; former electronic countermeasures technician on A-10, SR-71, U-2, RC-135 and C-5 aircraft; professional cartoonist; comics historian; and 20-year Air Force veteran. Lived all over – including 10 years overseas. Hobbies include history, science, technology, cartooning, film and sports.
Grew up on the west side of Chicago, and unlike most baseball fans in the city, roots for both the White Sox AND the Cubs.
