Selfridge, born May 20, 1939, is an artist working in painting, drawing, and sculpture. He was raised in Chicago's far southwest side neighborhood of Clearing, a lower middle class working man's area. Clearing at the time was similar to a typical small midwestern town, isolated by open prairies but just within the city's limit.

In 1957 he won, in open competition, the only full tuition scholarship offered to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from the School of the Art Institute with academics at the University of Chicago. However, due to difficulties beyond his control he was forced to leave the Art Institute after the first year. Even so, he graduated from Illinois public schools and university systems. Despite having been subjugated to a barren intellectual background, and being taught to be a conformist, obedient, and cannon fodder by government schools, he was able to self-educate. Selfridge has a profound interest in history according to provable facts regardless of political correctness, as well as astronomy, physics, literature, and music.

At 55 years of age, he managed to retire from banking and education. Selfridge served in the US Marine Corps and supervised the lifeguard staff of several major Chicago beaches during the summers while teaching.

He has published two fantacy novels depicting the decline of the once great United States and offered corrective solutions that most likely will never be implemented.
