Jim Bromley - Editor, Etc.

BESIDES EDITING THOUGH…

I love dogs. My dog’s name is Willow because she’s small and powerful. She’s a bit crazy but I love her.

I like road trips. I like finding ghost towns and petroglyphs and weird statues and stuff.

Go Bills! Go Sabres! Go Clippers! Go Dodgers! Usually in that order (please don’t ask me to name Dodgers players, baseball is more about Micheladas and Dodger Dogs and Randy Newman to me). I like fantasy football and I like it when Yahoo sports grades my draft an F. Every. Single. Year. (I usually make playoffs though)

Licensed ham radio operator. K6IRX. CQCQCQ. I enjoy QRP and SOTA operations as well as listening into local nets and messing with other little parts of the hobby here and there.

Licensed FINRA arbitrator. I’ve only been assigned to one case in 4 years though. Why am I a FINRA arbitrator? Because I heard it was a thing you could do. (And I think I woulda made an okay-ish lawyer in another life.)

Of course I’m a movies / tv / books / general pop-culture nerd too.
