When someone asks for a bio the first thing I think is "why?". Theres nothing all that special about me and my life is relatively free of drama and madness. I've never been a drug addict, Ive never been arrested for crazy behavior (Thou I do imagine myself as a wild man, risk taker/ninja, taking life by the horns and riding my motorcycle off into the sunset ) its really a lie, I dont own a motorcycle :). I think of my life to date as a set of bullet points.

• Family got involved in a carnival when I was young (ask me when you have a few hours)
• Traveled the country in various type of vehicles
• Cared for exotic cats (lions tigers etc...)
• Made many friends from accross the spectrum of humanity and economic conditions
• Ran away from the circus to attend the University (their very similar just different dental plans)
• Through no fault of my own I accediently attended one of the best art programs I have ever seen at The University of Toledo.
• Met an incrediable mentor/friend Thomas Lingeman
• Grad school at "The University of Idaho"
• Met another great mentor/friend Richard Higgs"
• Became a raging liberal (well thats how I imgine myself anyway :) )
• Got a job supporting faculty at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

So so far I think im doign pretty good. Little bit of this and that. Im curious about darn near everything and I think Im pretty good with that. My most recient favorite quote is from a book "Tricked", by Kevin Hearne " Dont go silently, go out raging at full volume". Its not quite exactly right but I'll look up the exact phrasing later :).

And!! I have cats! Their Awesome!
