About Me

How do you solve a problem like Me? I am the proud father of two little girls, Alyx and Leah, who could be both the cutest and smartest babies on Earth. (No offense to your stupid, ugly children.) I work in publishing and when I'm not hanging out with Dana and the kids (sounds so weird), I'm a writer/musician/creative type. If I ever find the time again, I'll convince Sick Liberty to let me back in and play something or other. I also cowrote a comic called Tuber and Tumor . We have two cats and one or both of them may be gay.

My Interests
