: About Me

I graduated from SUNY Geneseo in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and mathematics. I also studied computer science from 1998 to 2000 at SUNY Geneseo. Somewhere in there, I also earned a black belt in the martial arts at Fred Villari's Studios of Self-Defense. I have also published a few short stories and a research paper.

Currently, my interest tends to oscillate between martial arts, philosophical/political writing, and fantasy writing.

I live in Plattsburgh, NY, U.S.A. on the shore of Lake Champlain. I've never been married and I have no children. I think I saw Champy once, though I'm sure very few people will believe me.

My passion is ...

split between martial arts, writing, and philosophy

I know too much about ...

abstract thinking

My childhood ambition ...

to be a paleontologist

My first job ...

a grocery bagger at Price Chopper.
