Who is Art Farkas? When he's not transformed into his eBay infiltrating, cyber-prankster, alter-ego Art Farkas, Paul Meadors cultivates the young minds and the future leaders of tomorrow in the guise of a fifth grade teacher. During his early school years he was singled out by school officials as being “gifted” but strangely found himself whisked away on a yellow bus to some unknown remote location two days a week. If gifted means bouts of uncontrollable blinking, placing a leg behind his head while sitting in a classroom desk, and spending hours upon hours playing Space Invaders on his Atari 2600, then he was gifted in every sense of the word. His high school years were much in the same as evidenced by his classmates voting him the title of “Class Clown” which was no doubt locked up by the hawk calls he bellowed while perched atop the hallway lockers. Even into adulthood he managed to channel his OCD into writing eBay vendors inane and off-the-wall questions about their items, which is chronicled in the book LETTERS TO EBAY. An accomplished pianist, trumpet
player, athlete, coach, and avid collector of Star Wars memorabilia, he
resides in Fresno, California with his wife, Lori, and their three young
daughters Georgie, Alex, and Ruthie.
