Will's Story
After high school I went to school at a small Baptist college in Phoenix...at age twenty I became a insulin dependent diabetic and things began to go a little bit sideways...
Went on to grad school at NAU and then the University of Pennsylvania but did not finish an advanced degree at either place...had many adventures living in Philly and traveling the east coast before I returned to the southwest to start a series of businesses and jobs that either went t*ts up or didnt pan out the way I had planned...
Along the way I also did/still do a lot of freelance writing, teaching, editing, and presentation development...
Also, GASP! I became 420 friendly...
At this point I am living near Salt Lake City which is amazingly beautiful and surprisingly out-doorsy...
I still love to sing and perform, still working on the great american novel, and still love to go to bars and coffee houses for the music, the art, and the...Expand for more
spoken performances (oh yes, also for the booze, the people, and the coffee!)...
I like to prowl around used bookstores and have worked as a book buyer...(actually there are few offbeat and/or lousy jobs that I haven't had over the years)...and finding a rare first edition still fills my geeky heart with infernal glee.
Hiking into the wilderness to find hot springs and mushrooms is high up on my list of a good time but new mexico is the best state for that...
Even today I enjoy strangling the life out of people on the chess board before bludgeoning them into brainy blood-pulp...
In short, except for the fact that I am 6 foot 8, 210 pounds, I think few of y'all would recognize me as the person they knew at Maryvale...
I have no children since I feel that passing along diabetes would be a disservice to them...
I often feel like i am a 25 year old with 17 years of experience at it....anyone else feel that way?
