About Northern Letter
About me: I was born in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, in 1965 and spent most of my childhood years in Plymouth, another western suburb of Minneapolis-St. Paul. I have a doctoral degree in British and American literature, wrote a dissertation on W.H. Auden, and since 1998 have worked in the field of educational assessment. I currently work as a test developer for physician certification exams and live in Collingswood, New Jersey, with my wife, daughter, and son.
