Besides writing, “J.B” enjoys bicycling, vacationing, and boating with his wife. Otherwise, he can be found in his backyard machine shop inventing something “ecologically and economically worthwhile.” Born in Toronto, Canada, he moved to Chicago with his parents in 1949 when he was already two years old. There, he attended various parochial and public schools in Chicago until being summarily drafted into the United States Army in 1965, where he serve one tour of duty in Vietnam and returned to Illinois to attend the same University at which his son, James, is a Physics Professor. After several years of teaching Industrial Arts at a well-known Chicago High School, he later went on to earn his Masters Degree and Doctorate, earning him a position at a prominent Suburban Junior College. Although retired, he occasionally gives guest lectures at various Illinois Universities and Colleges on the “State of Manufacturing Technology in America.” When contemplating the career path of his two sons, James and Lamont, he cannot imagine any two career paths as being any more dissimilar than theirs.view less
