Mike Zimmerman

They call him Zim. He can whistle, shark you at a game of 9-ball, juggle, play guitar, and twirl a pen like no one else. With talent dripping from every pore, is it any wonder he’s our senior writer? A University of Illinois graduate, Zim spent just under six years in college and managed to graduate twice, with degrees in Animal Science and Agricultural Communications. A professional writer for 20-plus years, to date he’s “ridden a motorcycle in 24 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces on assignment for Harley-Davidson. What more could a guy want?” The answer: to learn how to swing a golf club as a lefty.” He’s currently teaching himself how to switch-swing a golf club, and you’ll be able to read all about it someday, as he’s chronicling the whole experience by writing a book.
