William Lehman enlisted in the navy at the age of 17 and served as a submarine sonar technician for the following 20 years, from the end of the Cold War through the first Gulf War. He concluded his military tenure as the Work Programs Director at the Naval Brig Bangor, WA, and as a Bremerton Police Reserve officer. He's also a Freemason, an ardent elk hunter, and a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. He does not, however, become enraged when the moon is full. His current residence is in western Washington, where he lives with his wife, children, and several dogs and cats.
