Michael Hickerson first discovered sci-fi on a UHF station’s Friday night Sci-Fi theater and has been hooked ever since. He grew up on Star Wars, Buck Rodgers and the original Battlestar Galactica, before finding the two great sci-fi loves of his life, Star Trek and Doctor Who. Michael is an avid reader, not just of sci-fi and fantasy but all genres. In his spare time, Michael blogs, co-hosts the weekly “TV Round-Up” podcast and spoils his niece and nephew.

Michael is a graduate of the University of Tennessee with a degree in journalism. He’s had a wide and varied career that has included stops as a sports writer/editor, tech supporting, running a software distribution company and delivering live scores and data. He currently works for the governor’s communications office for the state of Tennessee.

After working as a journalist for Slice of SciFi for a year, Michael was promoted to Assistant News Editor and the Managing Editor for FarPoint Media’s the Zombie Channel.
