| Introduction | I grew up in a small town in Iowa; immersed in American pop-culture of TV, Film, Mad Magazine, and music. I developed a fascination with German pop-culture while living in Germany. I later realized that early American pop-culture is similarly foreign - or even more so - than German-specific pop-culture. Echoes of early American pop-culture still resonate today. I enjoy tracing now-familiar elements of pop-culture to their origins; and discovering long-forgotten tid-bits of pop-culture that were as popular in their day as the Kardashians are now - and probably as forgettable. BS in Physics from Bucknell University. J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School. Previously worked as a patent attorney, litigator, judicial clerk, power plant operating engineer, US Navy officer, and lifeguard. My work has been cited in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Stanford Law Review, The Paris Review, Smithsonian Magazine, The Atlantic, Buzzfeed, the Huffington Post, and many other publications, books and periodicals. |
