Russell Beck grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, where a few outstanding English teachers at Cathedral High School sparked a lifelong love of writing and critical thinking.
In 1967 and 1968, while at the University of Buffalo, he wrote a sports column titled The Athletic Supporter for the student newspaper. It was more humor than highlights, à la Dave Barry.
He’s written numerous articles in his professional field, nonprofit management.
He now lives in Chiang Mai, Thailand, with his wife, Naruedee, where he continues to write, reflect, and occasionally volunteers… to take out the garbage.
