Jimmy Doom was raised on Detroit's west side, graduated from University of Detroit Jesuit High School, and spent the next few decades bartending, acting, working on concert production crews, teaching pool, fronting a punk band and writing for local newspapers and magazines, including The Detroit Free Press, Metro Times, and the legendary Orbit, where he appeared in the magazine's final issue as the nude centerfold. ( That's true, and you can look it up, though it's not recommended). He has appeared in over 40 feature films, shorts, and music videos, working with everyone from David Carradine to Travis Scott. His first published book, Humans, Being, a collection of 100 Word Fiction, was released in 2020.
