Thom File IV was conceived on the banks of the mighty Shoshone River, in between the outer boundaries of a reservation casino and a rolling thundercloud. After receiving his G.E.D. from the Park County (WY) Board of Education, Thom earned a PhD in quantum physics from the University of Phoenix with a minor in Postmodern Thought. He currently resides in Washington, D.C., where he spends his days toiling in the bowels of the federal bureaucracy and his nights experimenting with over the counter pharmaceuticals. In his remaining spare time, Thom enjoys managing a host of Chris Martin fan-sites, proposing to Salvadorian waitresses, and working towards a State Department ambassadorship to the greater nation-state of South Dakota. He is also regularly terrorized by hipsters and their art.
A self-styled 'citizen of the world,' Bradley has been on the move since he was born. While he has traveled extensively throughout the middle-west, mapping the cultural and historical landscape as he went, he currently finds himself back in the metropolis of Chicago. With little more than a Nikon camera, an ounce of determination and some ramen noodles, Bradley soldiers on as an intrepid graduate student at the University of Chicago.
