Live music, writing SciFi.
If I were an animal (other than a human), I would be… because…
A Dog – according to the Chinese Zodiac, I’m a metal dog, and seriously, have you met a dog? Best animal ever!
Something quirky about me that people might not know
I was part of a startup that developed and built a working scale prototype of a system for recycling disposable diapers in the early 90’s.
If I had a superpower, it would be…
Teleportation – be anywhere, anytime, to hang out with anyone, with no time lost, and no environmental impact. Who could ask for anything more?
