While this site exists largely as a place to hang my résumé and CV online, it is under construction, as the kids used to say.

And now, something in the way of a bio:

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and currently reside in Las Vegas, Nevada with my wife of 20 years and our two cats.

Professionally, I work across Linux administration, open source database administration, and automation. I am also a polyglot developer. Some of the code I have written can be viewed on my GitHub page.

I am a writer by avocation, working on a essays, short stories, stage plays, and screenplays. I also write a periodic Substack called Weirdtown, U.S.A. I have been published as an essayist and, oddly enough, as a poet.

While I had a somewhat traditional collegate experience, I consider the San Francisco Public Library to be my alma mater — though I did learn a great deal about filmmaking at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) in the '90's when Dennis Dugan taught there.

I even have an entry in the IMDB for editing on Vegas in Space.

On a quest to become bilingual, I am a student of Spanish. While I consider myself to be a beginner, I can swear rather well, so I've got that going for me. Still, I can't — yet — figure out what is going on in a telenovela.

I keep it all together with two twenty-minute sessions of TM™ brand transendental meditation, morning and night. All that and the fact that I am a clown school dropout is about all you need to know about me.
