    Robert Mitchell Evans

    Robert Mitchell Evans was born in the southern United States before there was a Zip code or a Berlin Wall. Enamored with spaceflight from childhood he has always been drawn to fantastic stories. After a brief tour in the United States Navy he was educated by the school of hard knock and real life.(while pursuing degrees in Politics and Biology.) He now lives in Southern California, works in the Pharmaceutical Marketing Field (giving drugs for free to needy patients), and wastes far too much time watching blu-rays on his PS3.
