Michael Tuck is a project manager for the History Commons where he serves as a researcher and writer under the name "blackmax." He is married to a wonderful, supportive woman, and has a son who intends on turning the computing world on its ear. He teaches English, history, and computer skills in alternative schools. When he isn't working in the classroom or for the Commons, he waits hand and foot on a houseful of demanding felines. He lives near the Atlantic Ocean and spends his few moments of spare time lounging on the beach and watching basketball.
