About John Mummert

I was born in Elmhurst, Illinois, attended high school in downstate Johnston City, and earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Illinois. Following graduate school at TCU in Fort Worth, Texas, I spent thirty years in the  water quality protection and restoration field, most of that time with the state environmental agency in Texas. After retirement, I turned my attention to writing. After many years in Texas, I relocated to northwestern Minnesota to escape the worsening heat and traffic, lower (I hope) the risk of experiencing tornadoes, and frankly, in hopes of finding a space far less enraptured by the irrational hate, recreational cruelty, and irresponsible anti-science lunacy currently plaguing large portions of the country. Have I moved far enough away? I don't know. 

This website is a work in progress, an internet presence to link to my writing projects. I have no desire to participate in the pestilence known as social media.
