Writer Biography - W. W. WEBB

I am a farm-raised Georgia native.

I know how to use dynamite and graduated from Yale University. I'm a former trucker, pharmacy tech, teacher, computer programmer, carpenter, handyman, political operative, roofer, and business owner. I can operate a range of heavy equipment, own many power tools, and still have all ten of my fingers.

I love to hear a good story and can tell a few tales of my own.
