Gary Szwejda was born in Buffalo, NY, and spent his childhood in western New York until his family moved to Michigan in the 1960s. He played four years of scholastic football, graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in history, then worked at various jobs, including truck driver, auto assembly line worker and hospital technician. After earning a degree in accounting, he spent twenty-seven years as an auditor with the State of Michigan before retiring. He and his wife, Deb, have a son, Andy, daughter, Sarah and son-in-law, Kyle, and they reside with their dog, Jax, in Eaton Rapids, MI. This is his first book on his favorite activity, tailgating and attending football games, which he has enjoyed for more than forty years.
