The requisite third-person biographicals:

Non-third-person biographicals :

Hi, I'm Ted.    

I studied biology at Indiana University but left school after my father died.  Over the next several years, I moved from place to place and job to job, holding down a strange mix of technical and labor positions.     

Eventually, like my father and grandfather, I found steady work in the Indiana steel mills. I used the union's tuition reimbursement program to take courses at night and slowly chipped away at a degree.  After graduating, I worked in various quality control laboratories for a while and eventually landed in a research lab where I used electron microscopes. 

While all that was going on, I was also writing, and getting rejected, a lot.  Although my job has changed many times over the years, the need to write never has.
