I grew up in Los Angeles, went to college in Maine, lived in Oakland, Philadelphia, Durham, NC and then back to to the LA area in 2023. I taught high school science (biology, earth science, physics, environmental science, or whatever else we need) for fifteen years and have had parents complain that I’ve turned their children into Doctor Who addicts. Then I went back to my first career, sustainable and equitable transportation.
The lockdown, well, locked me down, and I spent a lot of time listening to music old and new and wanting to learn more about it, which is the genesis of these music trivia quiz books, with more to come.
On the sci-fi side, the geeky science nerd in me insists that my worlds have internal integrity, even if they’re full of rhino-bears and messages across time. The ten-year old boy in me who grew up stealing Tolkien, Le Guin, and McCaffrey books from his big sister’s bookshelf just wants characters and stories to fall in love with.
In my spare time, I listen to a lot of music, travel, watch baseball when I can, play with my dog and daughter, kayak, and go hiking (often rushing off the trail to write down ideas).
