About the Author
Now I can write in the first person! My name is Jim Crispin. A former public
school teacher, I work in the Information Technology department of CNA Insurance, a property-casualty insurance company headquartered in Chicago.
 In my spare time I am CEO, janitor, and chief bottle-washer of
Trousers. Originally I wrote a DOS version of this software for missionary
friends at Caribbean Graduate School of
Theology / Jamaica Theological Seminary of Kingston, Jamaica. While doing
that I came to wonder if other schools could use this software. One thing led
to another, and today my desk, PC, printer, and cable modem collectively make up
Trousers World Headquarters.
With a lot of fear, but with sincerity, I
accepted Jesus Christ as Lord of my life the summer of 1979. I'll give you my
testimony if you'd like. I'm a very fortunate fellow in many ways. How
many other people get the chance to serve the Lord and have so much fun at the
same time?
In 1994 I married my wife Kim, a wonderful and lovely Christian
woman. Kim is not merely a loving and devoted spouse; she is
very fun to hang around with. I am a happily married
man. The
little people in the photo are our kids, both adopted (names not stated
here because a Google search could invite problems -- sorry -- trust
you can understand). Our son was born in eastern
Europe in June 1998 and our daughter was born in the US in June
1999. We love our kids to pieces are grateful to God for
giving us such a wonderful family. This picture is
from Christmas 2006.
Kim and I are members of College Church of Wheaton, an
evangelical, nondenominational congregation located across the street from Wheaton College.
We have roots, family, and friends in the area, so for us this looks to
be home for good. I do not think I could move. I
am a homebody. It is even hard for me to change grocery
stores.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, home maintenance, and
active sports. Because my knees are worse for wear from many years of
pounding basketball pavement my active sports these days are jogging and biking. I
suppose that soon I will settle for mall-walking and checkers.
