James F. Reilly was born at Mountain Home Air Force Base in 1954. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at University of Texas at Dallas and University of Texas at Dallas.

Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
That the work was done from the United States matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
