William Stuart Britt

Bill was born August 9, 1952 in Asheville, N.C., the son of Charles Bivens Britt Sr. and Jeanette Bunch Britt. He held a degree in systems analysis from East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C. He became quite proficient in UNIX coding and held many positions with corporations and technology firms, including Nortel in Research Triangle Park, N.C.

He was a storyteller of the humorously vile genre.
