James Parkinson

James is an eighth grade science teacher who hales from Southern California via Michigan. A self-styled science geek, James is never happier than when he is blowing something up in the service of educating his students. Never, that is, except when he is able to spend time with his wife, Carolyn, away from the concerns of either of their jobs.

James has been a fan of the 'verse since its television days and somewhat annoyed his then fiancée when he spent the money to by the DVDs. Money was a little tight then. He has since had the great pleasure to see her hooked on the series, so much so that she started writing for some podcast or other just so that she could spread the word to the masses.

James spends the small amounts of freetime that he calls his own playing poker, reading science fiction novels, assistant coaching for his schools Science Olympiad team, and lately, thanks to his wife, reading unhealthy amounts of Firefly Fanfic.
