Liam James Leaven was born the son of a Midwestern crop duster. He spent his childhood rustling about in the buffalo grass and flying around the Great Plains with his Pop in a red-baronesque biplane, a pastime that proved perilous one foggy, springtime morning when his Pop flew the plane too low and wound up wrapped around a couple of large oaks, the two that held the hammock in which Mother was napping. At the age of 17, orphaned and without funds, he began walking westward, with pad and pen in hand, and shortly thereafter set to work on his informational dream, which he had provisionally dubbed, The Country Wide Web. His young vision proven bereft of a global reach with the advent of the first Web browser for the World Wide Web in 1993, and his dreams thus dashed, he found himself lost, and in a slump. In search of inspiration, he thence traveled to the narrow, cobblestone streets of Western Europe, where he had a black, 1972 Delta 88 shipped over from the States. From there, he lumbered through the windy pathways, eating crêpes and drinking Coke, in search of Truth, Honor, Justice, and the occasional Lovely Thing, as everybody looked on in repulsed astonishment and curiosity from their Twingos. He has since returned and currently resides in New York, where he works diligently at his craft; a picture of his Pop’s red biplane always close by, and ever on the hunt for a perfect moment.
