Jeff Lewis

Jeff earned a Masters degree in history at the University of Sheffield in England, and then spent two years studying history of science at the University of California, Santa Barbara before realizing that he did not have the temperament to become a historian.  They must refrain from hyperbole and most forms of humor, you see.

After leaving Santa Barbara, vowing never to use the terms "paradigm," "epistemology" or "hegemony" again, Jeff became, among other things, a contract writer.  The majority of his work came as a technical writer, which accounts for his excellent use of bullet points and the phrase "as follows."  Jeff has penned many publications, one of which weighs in at over 700 pages.  Sadly, only one book bears his name; he once was able to buy it at a going out-of-business sale for 80% off.
