The Professor
Joe Manson, known as "The Professor," is a San Diego native with a rebel soul.
He graduated from U.C. Berkeley in 1982 and became an anthropology professor who spent years tracking monkeys in Costa Rica and even longer navigating the academic jungle.
By 2022, disillusioned by the rise of ideological conformity and the freefall of academic standards, Joe got divorced, retired early, left the chaos of Los Angeles and launched a new chapter in Oklahoma.
Thanks to a series of twists, Joe is now happily remarried to Heather Anne and embracing life with renewed energy. He’s diving into his Jewish roots, mastering Renaissance and Baroque recorder, and striking poses in yoga class.
Still a scholar at heart, Joe now studies the quirks of his fellow human primates using personality questionnaires, and he’s currently preparing for his ham radio license.
With his soulmate by his side, he's enjoying life's adventures and excited to take you along.
