Bio

I build things.

As an engine of relentless creativity, these things in question include–but are not limited to–rayguns, plays, pulp heroes. swords, puppets, costumes, one-man shows, toys, gourmet meals, and otherworldly devices. These thing have been known to change the lives of many, save the lives of a few, and generally assist whenever needed, much like their creator. I have been known to inspire super powers and detectives. I have performed in two circuses, one of which was my own. my writing and artwork has been published in just about every format currently available. Some of it has won awards, applause and accolades from people who really ought to know better than to
encourage me.

A founder member of the daily flash-fiction website 365 TOMORROWS, I am also the writer and producer of two science-fiction podcasts.

The Voice Of Free Planet X:
My fiction, done up short and sweet with background music and other audio enhancements. Also, a themematically apropriate song at the end to compliment the story.

Aliens You Will Meet:
A short-short podcast involving the continuing advice of a Precognitive Meeting Planner to hapless diplomat as they cross the galaxy.

I am not domestic, I am a luxury, and in that sense, necessary.

What's your favorite public radio show?

This American Life. The show reminds of the extraordinary hidden in the mundane, every week.

What's your secret talent?

I'm pretty vocal about all my talents, but most folks are surprised by my Tom Jones impersonation.

What song is stuck in your head right now, you know, a music wedgie?

The "Cromartie High School" theme song. It's in Japanese, so it's a double wedgie.

What sound is most characteristic of where you live?

Traffic. Honking horns, revving engines. Everyone's got somewhere to go.

What's your favorite sound memory?

The applause when I came out for a bow in a high school production of Midsummer Night's Dream. I played Bottom. Got to build my own donkey mask for it, too, which was great. Specially designed so the audience could actually hear me. I worked really hard on that part, so the applause was gratifying.

Which station do you listen to most?

I don't listen to radio that much--I get my NPR fix mainly through podcasts.
