He’s a drummer and web developer, amateur photographer, enthusiastic cook, voracious reader, and occasional basketball player, in addition to hosting and providing tech support for On a Whim.

Among his specialties are herpetology (look it up!), the buzz cut, rockin’ out, and faithful imitation of the ruff grouse enjoying an afternoon martini.
