ABOUT Robert Becker

Educated at Rutgers College, NJ (my home state) and UC Berkeley (Ph.D. English) I escaped university teaching (stints at Northwestern and the University of Chicago) for enterprise, founding and heading SOTA Industries, high end audio company from '80 to '92. Next decade, I wrote for a living, mainly business clients. Last decade, I've scribbled on politics and culture, hunting up wit in the shadows.
