'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds.

i have a degree in theatre arts tech and work theatre gigs as a technical director. most of my experience is in lights, sound, and rigging.

i'm also licensed as a contractor to wire up houses for audio, video, phones, networks and more. this is how most of my work time is spent and why i have a new, sharp-yet-creepy white work van.

really, though, that's mostly work. hooray for working for myself, but sometimes my boss can be a real jerk. and life isn't work.

i'm raising a daughter and i never thought i'd fall in love EVERY DAY but now i do. i've lived in the same house in SF for 17 years and while that's merely living, it has definitely become what i am doing with my life since i've spent half my life here. i travel like mad and go abroad every chance i get.

fooling gravity, playing drums, disc golf, skiing, connecting people, speaking before i think.

sideburns, pretty much. and light, steel blue eyes. and the fact that i've started speaking to them apparently with no obvious reason.

creative projects - what to build next. drum beats. travel. sex. being underwater.

in the music studio, blowing off steam and flowing creative juices. mostly at the moment ripping DATs and other media from the last 30 years of my life for digital archiving. my, doesn't that sound *interesting*? some weirdo working alone with audio gear in a loft in some old warehouse? i guess not. but i adore it there. sometimes i bring my cats.

i have a pair of webbed toes on each foot
