Dixon J. Jones was born in the Territory of Alaska, a few years before it became a state. After earning a BA in math from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1979, he returned to Alaska, worked for the US Postal Service as a mail carrier, and did freelance graphic design on the side. He was a math grad student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks from 1987 to 1989, but didn’t complete the master’s program; instead, he obtained a part-time graphic design position at UAF’s Rasmuson Library, which soon became full-time, and from which he retired in 2017.
He lives with his wife, Marion Avrilyn Jones, and their cat, Bartholomew, in the lower Upper Midwest.
PS: Some internet sites, like MyLife.com, have assembled dossiers on Mr. Jones that are quite spectacularly and hilariously wrong. Caveat lector!
