Suitupshowup's real name is Jim Secosky. Jim is a retired teacher from Bloomfield Central School and Finger Lakes Community College. He has an M.A. from S.U.N.Y. Geneseo. As an amateur he used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Mars Global Surveyor, and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. His research on Io with HST was published in Icarus. In 2008, 2013, 2020,2021, and 2922 he gave talks at the Mars Society Convention. He served as executive officer for Crew 64 at the MDRS.

A wannabe astronaut, he has had to just settle for studying the planet from orbit. NASA has used over 6000 of his suggestions for spots to examine with orbiting cameras. Over 170 of those pictures were named HiRISE picture of the day. Wanting to show the world what Mars actually looks like, Secosky has written hundreds of articles for Wikipedia and Marspedia, and has posted thousands of pictures to his Facebook page.
