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 bi-plane, while inhaling a wide array of mostly harmful pesticides.

At the age of 17, 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 World Wide Web in 1993, and his dreams thus dashed, he found himself lost, and in a slump.

He thence traveled to the narrow, cobblestone streets of Western Europe, where he had a 1972, 18-foot long Delta 88, color black, shipped over from the States. From there, he lumbered through he windy pathways, eating crepes and drinking Coke, in search of Truth, Honor and Justice, as everybody looked on in repulsed astonishment and curiosity from their Twingos.

Having found none of these things, he has since returned, and currently resides incognito, sidestepping Fame and Fortune, while awaiting the Perfect Martini.
