About the Creator
I’m a lifelong fan of maps and history, and since the dawn of the internet era, online interactives. Since 1989 I’ve lived with my wife Sheryl in East Nashville and currently hold a day job as a UX designer.
My parents and me on a train trip during that brief interval between JFK and the Beatles. I’m holding a copy of Rand McNally’s 1962 “Book of the United States”, probably a recent Christmas present.
