| Bio: | In the 50+ years he’s been alive, mike b has learned to embrace his inner nerd. He works as a Radiation Health Physicist, a job every bit as geeky as it sounds. He retired from the Navy and Naval Reserves after 20 years in the submarine community. He has sailed the oceans in submarines, destroyers, an aircraft carrier, and a three-masted sailing ship. He has fenced, shot pistol, and rowed at the collegiate level (barely) and played chess, bridge, and a hell-of-a-lot of war games. He lives in suburbia with his wife and son, where he grows bamboo, keeps chickens, and is staff for cats. |
