Mark A. Kwasny is a writer, humorist, and banjo-player wannabe, often found gazing with admiration at his shelf full of participation trophies. He has spent quality and non-quality time growing up and aging in places such as Michigan, Virginia, Ohio, Arizona, and California, all the while commenting on the absolute absurdity of contemporary American life. A rare combination of INFJ Melancholic, Mark spends much of his time thinking and writing while generally and specifically avoiding people at every opportunity.
