Born in Ann Arbor, raised in San Diego & LA.

Two years at U of Chicago, and, well, I didn't do so hot.

Xfer to U of C Davis, where I (eventually) got a BS in Computer Science / Math.

A couple years of post-grad work in compsci @ UC San Diego, then a good paying job and then... Well, it all happened so fast... I took T. O'Leary's advice and I Tuned in, Turned On, and Dropped Out.

That didn't work out so well.

For eight or so years I did well but struggled as a movie extra. Heh. You can see me on "Bad Santa" if nothing else.

Currently, I am "Warehouse Manager" for the world's largest privately held musical instrument store chain, at their flagship store in Hollywood, CA. Doesn't pay spit, but I guess it's better than digging a ditch.
