The ink man is a retired graphic arts professional who lives in Plano, Texas and is originally from Detroit. Now and then he travels a bit, but mostly he stays home renovating old machinist chests. He owns way too many watches and pocket knives but, alas, not any motorcycles anymore, much to his chagrin. He's married to a woman so wonderful as to allow, if not actually encourage, him to work on his boxes in her kitchen. If he cleans up after himself that is. He has three grown children spread across the continent and a faithful Westie companion who lives at home..
