As a journalist, I've enjoyed getting to know people in the worlds of art, computers, video, and the web.
As a conceptual artist and concrete poet, I absorbed a lot from brave audiences.
As a teacher, I've learned enormously from my students at NYU, Rutgers, the Shakespeare Institute, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UNM, and professional organizations such as the ACM, IEEE, and STC.
And as a writer, I've always gotten a kick out of working collaboratively with other writers.
I live in New Mexico, along the Rio Grande, in an adobe house with a satellite dish on top, and three dogs who chase away balloons during the annual fiesta.
My wife Lisa is a writer and manager of customer representatives at a call center.
My son Ben runs an insurance office here in town, and Noah is about to graduate from UNM.
Me, I'm busy doing art pieces, fiction, and a bunch of writing about web applications and databases, mostly for the national laboratory here in town, Sandia.
