Tony Padegimas has been an obvious and unapologetic nerd all of his life. He is also a geek and a wonk and he knows the difference. He has held close to 40 jobs. His non fiction writing chronicles sports, fitness, historical curiosities, technical theater (his day job), the inside guts of buildings and other topics by assignment. He has two hiking guides on the shelf, and has gained an expert level knowledge of camping in a hammock while researching them. His historical fantasy novel, Beanstalk and Beyond and Taliesin’s Last Apprentice is available from Mystic Publishers. He is also responsible for the role-playing game Go Action Fun Time.
His day-job involves programming light switches (this is a thing people do) for RC Lurie in Phoenix. He also still dabbles in technical theater, particularly lighting, which he did full time for nearly 30 years. In his estimation, he drinks too much coffee and not nearly enough beer. He lives in Phoenix with Cheryl Zierman, his mother-in-law and a rotating cast of domestic mammals. He is, by his own reckoning, the second most famous Padegimas on the internet.
