The author is just this guy, you know? (with apologies to the late, great Douglas Adams. I've always wanted to do that. HHGTTG is still in my top 5 favourite novels of all time)
The "author" is Adam Weichel, a 33 year-old Systems Administrator living in North Bay, ON, Canada. When he's not at work for an international mining contractor, he's either in the gym at Fit4Less or out exploring the woods in his truck or snowmobile (depending on the season).
Other hobbies and interests include PC and console gaming, military history, car and truck customization, model-building, N-scale model railroad, (very) amateur astronomy and digital photography. Travel remains a constant interest, but time for much of this still eludes the author.
