BioA native New Yorker transplanted to the Left Coast in my teens, I've never quite been able to negotiate between the tense attitude of the one and the mellow of the other ... but for better or worse the Bay Area appears to be Home, and I've lived in the city of Alameda since 1985.
I write stuff for fun and money. (Money is good.) For most of my adult life I have made my life writing training materials for technology companies, so I get to call myself a professional writer even though I haven't sold any freelance material in over a decade.
I'm married to a wonderful woman. We have two adult kids (both living at home, grnarph!) and a quartet of quadrupeds (three felids and a canid). I have amazing friends whom I wouldn't trade for any amount of money. Life is good, so why do I suffer from depression? O well...
