James A. Baumgard was born and raised in Chicago, IL. From the monotonous mid-west, he moved to mountainous Boulder, CO., where he spent a winter making and selling sheepskin coats. In pursuit of more adventure, came spring, he headed further west, to San Francisco, alas, too late to enjoy the "summer of love." Still, he loved the City by the Bay well enough to sojourn there for eighteen years; during which he wrote computer programs to support his photography business.
When family beckoned, he upped stakes and southward moved to Corona, CA., where he currently lives, writes, and line dances.
