ABOUT ME

My photo
Christopher McCabe
Born in Boston, I grew up there, in Connecticut and in Southern California. I live in Los Angeles with my wife Janet. I started working at sixteen, from gardener to janitor, school bus driver to Santa Claus; I've also worked in a dry cleaners, a wood shop, a law firm and fundraising offices. I attended California State Universities at Long Beach and Northridge, earning B.A. and M.A. degrees in English, respectively. I have written for publications, and I began teaching in the late 1990s. From 2001-2016 I was on the English faculty at Pasadena City College. I stuttered when I was a kid and a young adult and I’ve become more fluent over the years. I hurt when disabled people and people on the margins become somebody’s joke. That’s never right. Some of my writing can be found at my blog, Custom Fit Freeway, at www.christophermccabe.com or English with McCabe http://englishwithmccabe.blogspot.com/?m=1 You can reach me by email: mccabecj@sbcglobal.net Or on Facebook.
