Herson, of "The Great Typo Hunt: Two Friends Changing the World, One Correction at a Time." He has been an editor at various houses of ill repute in Washington D.C. and Boston.

Deck enjoys speculative fiction, video games, and historical inquiries, and has been known to draw comics on occasion.  | |
