Career Highlights: As a free-lance writer, I've been proud to poke and prod charlatans, hucksters and various politicos at every opportunity. As a radio broadcaster, I've been happy to have worked at some great radio stations as well as some real doghouses--it taught me how to do radio correctly. As a software/application developer, I've learned that client's checks need to be verified as quickly as possible.

Current Profession: All of the above; most proud to be associated with a quality local radio program like the People Power Hour.

Hobby: Reading and travel. There's too much to see in the world to be stuck in one place, and travel is the best educational experience there is.

Why I Do What I Do: Somebody's gotta do it. And let's face it, when the going gets weird, the Weird turn Pro.

Political Stance: Small "L" libertarian; I have no use for political parties as such. Wanna know why? Look around....

Quote: "The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over." - Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
