Thomas James
Thomas James is a human male. He is a citizen of the United States of America, but nobody asked him. He is a Coloradan who was unfortunately born in New York, but this has been corrected. Thomas holds a BA in Religion and an MBA in Information Systems, both of which are sometimes reflected in his poetry. He recently broke and is now working on building something better out of the pieces. He lives with his wife Juliet, their dog, and about a dozen aquariums.
