Find out more about Broderick:

Broderick Perkins is offbeat. He blew off a college degree in his senior year, when he was branded with a "Communications Condition" -- due to sloppy spelling and an inability to write within the constraints of the one-page composition format. Refusing remedial work to land a degree, he hasn't been the same since. Perkins went on to parlay a more than 30-year career as old-school career journalist into the digital news service the Silicon Valley-based DeadlineNews Group. Now, rolling off the beaten path, he is also the National Consumer News Examiner and the National Real Estate News Examiner.
