I was born and raised in Iowa ("The California of the Midwest"), and currently live in Melbourne, Florida. You can find my myspace page and my facebook page by following the links (yes, I'm uber l33t).

To keep active, I enjoy biking/running/walking and going to the gym. At right is a picture from my very first 5K run! I like to play music, which you can find here, or at the myspace page above, which is actually more current.

I like to get my news from the NY Times, Washington Post, slashdot, and of course The Daily Show.

I've been a member of the Sierra Club since 1982, and also support The Environmental Defense Fund The Nature Conservancy, and Amnesty International. By this point, you have probably guessed that I'm a registered Democrat, although I don't belong to an organized politcal party.
