Native of St. Louis, Missouri. Resident of metro Seattle. Alumnus of the United States Army, baccalaureate of University of Washington, graduate student with University of Denver.

I have edited contributions on the city of Reading, Pennsylvania, the Washington Huskies, Anglicanism, and most infamously, the now-deleted etymology of the phrase "Coug it".

God has blessed me with: Rocket From the Crypt, the Book of Common Prayer, Imo's Pizza, Korean cinema, Tacoma, Washington, the 1964 Ford Galaxie 500, street photography, the St. Louis Cardinals, my Malamutes, and the love of my beautiful wife, who really digs it when I write her haiku.
