Michael Richards is an engineer in the United States Air Force with a Ph.D. in Energy Science. He was born in Texas but has lived in 10 states, 6 countries, 3 continents, 4 planets, and 2 galaxies. While there's no place like home--because no place is home--he's always happiest around his magical wife and five mischievous children. He's currently stationed in downtown Tokyo, Japan, where his assignment is to find and fund top quantum science researchers in Asia. He likes growing beards (when on leave...), smashing atoms, and making cheese; but not at the same time. He loves squeezing stories out of the diverse experiences he's had.
