Atomic Dog -- The Testosterone Principles
TC Luoma was born to Finnish immigrants in Windsor, Ontario, but spent the bulk of his youth and adolescence in nearby Detroit, Michigan.  He attended Eastern Michigan University where he earned degrees in Microbiology and English Language and Literature.  After college, TC had a host of jobs, including stints as an assembly line worker, an armored car guard, a phlebotomist, a used car salesman, a male model, a Freshman English teacher, a short order cook, a technical writer (who wrote books on how to take apart cruise missiles), and many other jobs too numerous to list. His diverse educational background and work experience has made him uniquely qualified to comment on the state of the American male.  (He can also whip your butt in Trivial Pursuit.) Currently, TC is the editor-in-chief of Testosterone Magazine, a newsstand and Internet magazine devoted to weight training, sports supplementation, and in general, changing your physique.  (Their unofficial motto is "Look Good Naked.")  In addition to publishing revolutionary ideas about sports training, the magazine discusses sex, women, the male psyche, and what TC calls the "testosterone void" in America. TC currently lives in La Jolla, California with his wife, Laurie, and his Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Toney and Riley.  His wife, when describing him, likes to quote Tuco from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: "He's tall, blonde, smokes a cigar, and he's a peeg."
