Hi!

I'm a retired military officer turned freelancer writer/author. I love the outdoors, and am as happy backpacking along a good trail as I am hacking away at my keyboard. I also enjoy movies, photography, flying, and sailing, though the prices of the latter two are a bit out of my reach these days.

I've been an admin or mod on numerous message forums since the the mid-'80s. I turned to various science forums in the mid-90s.

I have a wonderful son, and enjoy visiting with him a lot, so when we are visiting, I spend a lot more time with him and a lot less on the computer.

Drop me a line! I'll respond.
