Theron Bowers

Theron Bowers is a psychiatrist living and working
deep in the heart of Texas. Life started in Macon, Georgia. However, he
spent most of his childhood in the foothills of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
He has spent most of his adulthood in Texas, part of the price for
marrying a beautiful Texan. Together, they have 5 children. The romance
and adventure never ends (though less adventure would be nice). Too
easily bored, he has worked in a variety of settings, private and public
including prisons, the streets and nursing homes. His current
obsessions involve mental health issues (of course), neuroscience,
culture, Breaking Bad and whatever else sparks his synapses.
