Born shortly after the tragic death of 73 workers (including both his parents) in a 1852 explosion at a rubber band factory in Walla Walla, Washington, (where bodies were seen bouncing for hours before any rescue could be attempted - oh the humanity), Professor Tierney immediately began his career as, you guessed it, a college English Professor at Palm Beach State College, which, interestingly enough, had not even been formed yet.
Anyway . . . his illustrious career included a few awards for, you guessed it, teaching, and scores of adoring students who hated that he made them read so much and learn proper documentation - APA of course! He also, and quite outrageously, teaches classes in literary humor, but his life-long goal is to write for MAD Magazine; unfortunately, they keep rejecting his attempts at hostile takeovers!
(You should be wondering why this bio is written in 3rd person? An alien abduction from the planet Omicron Persei 8 in conjunction with the NRA and Ted Nugent shortly before his tragic birth resulted in a tear in the space-time continuum forcing JD Salinger to come out of the grave to want to write one last piece of fiction for his league of adoring fans on the once and future planet Pluto, which at the time of the writing of this bio is not a planet, but will be again someday, If I have my way - mmmwwwhahahahahaha!)
