Ohio farm boy in the 70s. Physics and English at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, graduating 1990. Doctor databases customer support 1991-1992. Tech Writer for various hardware and software companies 1992-2008. MBA University of South Florida 2008 and became a Communications manager for Peek Traffic, a supplier of traffic control equipment (cars and trucks, not pings and packets.) For lots of small to medium sized companies, I've often been the only available web creation, writing, and graphic design resource. Have slowly over the past decade become obsessed with woodworking, good design (both physical and virtual), and human efforts in space. My personal philosophy would best be described as techno-existentialist. Fundamentally allergic to religion.
