Eric Cheezum

Eric A. Cheezum holds a PhD in American History from the University of South Carolina, and credits Doctor Who with inspiring him to enter the History profession. He became a Who fan when he was eleven years old, after seeing "The Gunfighters," and has loved the show ever since. He co-authored a biography of President Woodrow Wilson in 2003, and is researching a biography of Wilson's Secretary of Agriculture, David F. Houston. He also gives lectures and writes about Chessie, the sea monster of the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to Doctor Who, he is a fan of Star Trek (especially TOS and TNG), Babylon 5, Blake's 7, and The Avengers (the 1960s TV series), and many other shows too countless to mention. He considers Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner to be the greatest TV series ever made. He lives on the Delmarva Peninsula where he teaches and farms.
