Biography

I'm a writer and graphic artist currently living in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I grew up in South Jersey, where I enjoyed catching critters and building tree forts as a little kid, and riding BMX bikes and playing heavy rock music as a teenager.

I went to college at Brigham Young University where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry (with a minor in philosophy), and later went to graduate school at Oxford Brookes University where I earned a Master of Science degree in Public Health. Following graduate school, I worked for some time as an environmental consultant, then as a wilderness program administrator. I currently work on my own.

Over the years I've lived in various places, including New Jersey, New Hampshire, Utah, the Dominican Republic, Philadelphia, England, Washington state, Southern California, and Virginia. I did a fair share of hitchiking and freight train hopping when I was younger. My passport has stamps from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Haiti, England, France, Spain, Morocco, the Philippines, Vietnam, and South Korea. I've also been to Canada, Mexico, and Hawaii a lot. I'm fluent in English and Spanish and can hold my own in HTML and Javascript.

I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, photography, surfing, playing guitar, mountain climbing, snowboarding, graphic design, research and writing, and web programming.
