About the Author

Tod Benoit was incarcerated in Corporate America for ten years after earning his engineering degree in 1987. Disturbed his biography could mirror Ivan Ilych’s as told by Tolstoy, he split the scene in 1997 to pursue decades of assorted adventures from Patagonia to Nova Scotia, from British Columbia to New Zealand. He contentedly kicks around Massachusetts these days, and may be reached at todbenoit@usa.net
