Tom Nixon lives in Iowa City, Iowa with his wife, three sons and a cat. He spends many of his evenings behind a computer console being one of the select group of professionals that is accorded the privilege of telling members of the law enforcement community where exactly they can go- and earning a paycheck for it. He's been known to wake up at 6 A.M. just to catch an Arsenal F.C. match, bleeds black and gold just like every other Hawkeye fan and holds out hope that someday, the Minnesota Vikings might actually win a Super Bowl. He has been known to enjoy a wee dram of scotch at the end of the day.
