| Born
in Tampa, Florida more than a half century ago, Jeff Wetherington
only began writing professionally in April 2004 when a representative
from the Tribune Interactive Media Services (part of the Tribune
Company, parent corporation of daily newspapers such as The
Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times) offered him the opportunity
to write a hyperlocal blog for their website in Orlando after reading
the writings on his personal blog.
For 15 months, until July 31, 2006, he provided restaurant, concert,
stage play, theme park and venue reviews, as well as political
commentary and opinion pieces pertaining to Orlando and the surrounding
Central Florida region under the nom de plume of "Man About
Town". You can review the
entire history of the Man About Town writings here.

Beginning
in December of 2006 and continuing until present day, Jeff has
been drawing upon his enjoyment of the outdoors to serve as the
featured writer
for Suite101.com's hiking, backpacking and camping section,
and in July of 2007 he was presented the opportunity to indulge
his almost life-long love of comic books by becoming the
writer of the comic book section for Athena Guides.
In addition, he has published two online travel blogs detailing
his trips to Scotland
and London in 2006 and to France
in 2007.
Happily married to Cindy for the past 10 years, Jeff has two
children from a previous marriage and two step-children, as well
as a grandson and granddaughter. Currently he still resides in
Orlando, Florida, but he and Cindy have plans to move to North
Carolina in the next few years.
