T.E. Padgett lives in southern New Mexico with his wife and two ferrets. He has no formal education and has had to learn everything he knows the hard way. He spends most of his time yelling at his computer, singing in the shower, and driving his poor wife crazy. When he is not engaged in foolish shenanigans he can be found wandering aimlessly around the local Wal-Mart. He has spent the last 30 years surrounded by cretins and miscreants and occasionally works as a defense contractor for the United States military.
