About Me

Hmm, who am I? Oh, wait, I'm a middle aged white guy so I must be my job! I've taken the ride from software startup to public company a couple of times now. Currently working as an education director in a mega-software company. But what if that's not who I AM?I was once in a rock band (post-punk art-rock, ahead of our time, played at CBGB's and other fine establishments in NYC and New England). I did stained glass sculptures and lived like there was no tomorrow. Then I figured out there actually IS a tomorrow, so I made some lifestyle changes to give me a better chance of getting there.Glad I did, too. I have a great life now, am married to a terrific woman, and have two really remarkable kids. And trust me, they have better MySpace pages than I do.Am working on a romance novel. Be ready to go to your bookstore in, let's say, 2010!

My Interests

Writing, running, eating, travelling, music. Not necessarily in that order. And, I can't say that other thing, right?

Music:

You name it -- Black Eyed Peas, Bruce Springsteen, Mozart, Regina Spektor, Aretha Franklin, The Roches, The Clash, Glenn Miller Band, BB King, Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, Schubert. I'm happy at a bluegrass festival, a rock concert, a chamber music recital, a drum corps show, a folk singer in a coffeehous, Korean kumongo or a barbershop quartet. What can I tell you? I love music!

Movies:

Anything with a brain. Or occasionally explosions.

Television:

Ok, I'm not the kind of person who would watch something like American Idol. I'm the kind of person who would watch foreign films and public television. However, I am also the kind of person who does things that a person like me would not do ... get my drift? I can't believe Melinda Doolittle didn't win this year! BTW, I saw Fantasia in The Color Purple on Broadway -- good lord can that woman emote!

Books:

Right now I'm reading romance novels ... at least you can't say I'm pretentious. However, I do have an impressive stack of intellectual literature very close to my bed. Any day now.

Heroes:

Anyone who does the right thin because it's the right thing to do. Could be you.
