Mini-Bio
Born in sunny Colorado and relocated to rainy Oregon, the author spent the bulk of his
life in the Southern Oregon area. Graduating high school in 1985, he majored in laser-
electro optics technology at OIT, graduating in 1990. Chased out of Medford by an angry
mob for unholy experiments involving lasers and kittens, he relocated to the Portland metro
area in 1997. He currently resides in Beaverton with his fish. And sometimes
he likes to write about himself in the 3rd person narrative.
Personality
According to the Myers-Briggs
personality test, I'm INFJ ("author"), INFP ("questor"), or INTP ("architect") depending on my mood
at the time I have taken the tests. But I put as much stock in such tests
as astrology or hand-writing analysis, which is to say, very very little.
I have taken the Geek Test and
Purity Test, but I won't say what my
scores are.
As for my personality, applicable adjectives would be reliable, iconoclastic, humorous,
loyal, intelligent, and maybe a little weird.

Hobbies/Interests
When I can, I make time to pursue various activities and interests:
- Taekwondo. Well, taekwondo WAS an activity for me until early this year. After 3 years, I decided not
to renew my membership. It was a fun, albeit rather expensive, change of pace for me. And while I enjoyed it, I didn't
aspire to go beyoned 1st degree black belt.
- Drawing. I don't make time for this as much as I would like, but it's always been both relaxing
and challenging to put pencil to paper and let one's imagination go wild.
