Mr. Mean is a repository for and sampling of my published writings - mostly my
ostensibly humorous essays, which have appeared in various
publications.
I was born a cranky, balding, middle-aged curmudgeon in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I honed my satirical edge - such as it is - in the 1980s producing the long-running daily cartoon "Our Heroes" for the University of Tennessee's Daily Beacon. My main other qualifications for writing
satire are a seething cynicism toward the established order, a
fundamental suspicion of all things "normal," and a despairing endurance of decades in the marketing, advertising, and editing worlds.
I resides in Knoxville with my lovely and tolerant wife, Dana, our
banana-eating dog, Dakota, and three cats, Linus, Lucy, and Bailey, each of whom possesses varying degrees of wickedness.
