A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Before going on to higher education, Craig Thomas Scheibel served six years in the United States Marine Corps from 1964 to 1970. While finishing his active reserve duty, Craig's specialty was finding Private First Class John Fink whenever he would disappear. Toward the end of his service while a reservist, Craig attended Glendale Community College where he played baseball for two years. Also in 1968, Craig competed in motorcycle drag racing and won the Top Bike Award on August 26th at the Beeline Drag Strip in Phoenix. Craig received his BA in Political Science in 1972 from Arizona State University. He graduated with honors and also had some of his earlier poems published in the Arizona State Press. After college, Craig took a few years off to surf the coast of California. Craig has been a runner for most of his life. In 1983 he participated in the Fiesta Bowl Marathon, where he set his personal record of 3 hours and 27 minutes, and in 1986 he ran the New York City Marathon. In February 1988 he founded the CARR-THOMAS Syndicate as a writer/photographer and race announcer. In 1989 Craig purchased Arizona Racing News, a running and multi-sport magazine. He covered Olympic athletes and all aspects of racing, from track to road racing, and began announcing at all kinds of races in 1993. Craig also worked as a still photographer/videographer for Geronimo Bungee from 1991 to 1992 where he was known as "the Video Guy", logging 148¼ jumps. In 1993, he created a second publication, Running & Multisport Magazine. In 2001, Craig began to teach again as a substitute teacher at the Pappas School for the Homeless and in the Phoenix Elementary District. In 2002 he became a member of the American Legion. For all of his life, Craig has enjoyed outdoor pursuits such as surfing, which he still does, and fishing, where he is quoted as saying, "I've never lost an empty yet." After 20 years, he remains baffled by both the six-string and twelve-string guitars. Craig is also the author of Poems by an Old Fat Guy, and he is currently working on his third book, which will be entitled Significant Other.
