“David Lienemann captured this photograph as the Vice President draws his bow during the archery portion of a cultural demonstration, outside Ulaanbataar, Mongolia, with Mongolian Prime Minister Sukhbaatar Batbold looking on. I told David when I first saw this photo that I would never have been brave enough to stand that close to the line of fire.”

A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
