Michael N. Smith, author of "100 of the Worst Ideas in History," is a part-time writer and the owner of an advertising production company. He deals with ideas all day long. So he has a great deal of empathy for what it takes to come up with a good idea -- and great sympathy when that seemingly good idea goes terribly wrong. Hence his most recent book, which recounts some of mankind's most notable foibles, faux pas and f-ups, in a light, irreverent, easy-to-read travel and bathroom piece. Mike has written and produced hundreds of humorous (and not-so-humorous) TV commercials, radio spots, and corporate videos over the past 25 years, for a gaggle of clients across our great land. His work has garnered numerous honors, including CLIO, ADDY, EFFIE, New York Art Directors, and TELLY awards. He also created the popular cult comic book character “Pete the P.O.’d Postal Worker,” as well as a children’s book parody by the same name. He’s penned features for National Lampoon, National Geographic Kids, Men’s Exercise, Orange County Register, Los Angeles Times, Buffalo News, St. Petersburg Times, and San Antonio Express News. Mike kids history, but always with love. He lives with his wife, Debora, and son, Andrew, in California.
