My name is uncle Kensson and I am a rocket scientist. It's an easy life, but someone's got to do it. I'm based in Bozeman, Montana in the northwestern USA and spend the bulk of my free time playing football (soccer) or guitar. If I can write something witty enough to inform and or entertain, then I'm as happy as can be.

My passion is ...

working things out

I know too much about ...

Dylan

My parents always told me ...

to do my best and not to worry if it didn't work out.

My childhood ambition ...

My favorite memory ...

Why I write ...

to entertain and inform

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm currently reading the His Dark Materials trilogy, but slowly. I'm watching Dangermouse.

My first job ...

My best moment ...

My inspiration ...

some Scottish comedy character who continually said "Give us a job... I could do that."
