So who am I?

I'm in my mid-forties, six feet tall, a bit stocky, have brown hair; generally shaggy in the winter, buzz-cut in the summer, blue eyes. I tend towards libertarianism, and find New Hampshire's state motto suits me well enough. I also come equipped with a slightly twisted sense of humor.

Generally, I've worked as a telecommunications technician. I took a few years off to write and edit, but that wasn't terribly successful from a financial point of view; so I'm back in telecomm, working for the local phone company for now, but always interested in interesting offers (hint: I like Wyoming). Of course, over the years, I've done a bit of everything: 11 years in the US Air Force, a year as a Correctional Officer, a few other telecomm outfits, writer, freelance electronics tech, private security officer, magazine editor, investigator, construction worker, retail sales... I get around.

"Get around" is pretty literal. I've traveled across nearly the entire United States over the years; it got to be a habit. It's starting to look like I've settled down in New Hampshire; I've been here five years now.

My hobbies are varied, as well. I enjoy writing; both SF and how-to articles, along with the occasional cartoon. I'm interested in medieval history, which led me to the Society for Creative Anachronism several years ago. But I despise pointless bureaucracy, which in turn eventually caused me to quit the SCA. I also shoot, brew beer and mead, do metalwork, leatherwork, make paper, armor, and weird gadgets.

I'm a strong proponent of space exploration and development; but believe it should be done by private industry and individuals, rather than by governments. My take on this is pretty well illustrated in my novel Net Assets, available on-line (free download).

I am very much "into" self-sufficiency, and I've acquired a broad range of skills to achieve it. Most folks who really know me consider me to be an effective jack of all trades.

I'm old-fashioned in that I still believe that a man's word is his bond. If I make a promise, I keep it.

Welcome to my world.

Résumés:


Can you take this oath?

I did.
