About Menick

Jim Menick is the head forensics coach at Hendrick Hudson High School. In that capacity, he works primarily with the LD team. He began coaching in 1996, when his daughter Katie was still on the team. Menick's primary employment is as Deputy Editor in Chief of Reader's Digest Select Editions.

Menick is the district chairman for the NFL New York State district, and the acting director of the Mid-Hudson League, which is dedicated to providing tournaments for first- and second-year students in LD, policy and, most recently, Public Forum. Although he used to judge everywhere all the time, mostly nowadays you'll find him in tab rooms.

Menick is the author of the novel Lingo, plus some long out-of-print how-to programming books. He has written for a variety of magazines on computer and publishing subjects. His From Caveman to Frenchman, a history of art in aid of explaining postmodernism, is notorious for its combination of insight and disinformation. His blog, updated almost daily, continues to astound and annoy everyone who reads it.
