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.
