About Me

Born in 1972, I grew up in and around the Bay Area—the bubble I call home. After college, I spent my mid-twenties living and working in the redwoods of the San Mateo Mountains, and my late twenties exploring, playing, and stumbling within the underground scenes of San Francisco. I now paint and write fictionalized novels and short stories based upon people I've known, places I’ve been and exploits I’ve experienced. My first novel, "Soft Candy", was published in February 2007, and my second novel, "Disturbingly Normal", is complete, but not yet available. Music I've been writing to:

My Interests

I'm a writer, performer, educator and chemist whose hobbies include painting, reading and relaxing on my couch while listening to NPR. I have a pounding weakness for all things shiny and form fitting, and I enjoy lively intellectual discussions that provoke insights into the nature of thought, behavior and the human condition.
