As a professional introduction, I can tell you I've spent several years in the adhesives and specialty polymers industry, most often serving in positions involving product development, technical service, and process development. My products and my time have found their way into a wide variety of industries across the continent, with customers running the range from small businesses to multi-national corporate customers.

Online, I maintain and manage the oldest and original fansite for paranormal-romance author Sharon Shinn. At various times, I have also participated in online gaming clans, though those years are mostly well behind me, mostly due to the prevalence of cheating in most of my favorite online games. I've also been an active participant in several Usenet groups over the years, including some technical forums. My workstation of choice is an iBook that has served me well in the time since I moved away from my home-built desktop (which ran dual-boot Windows 98SE and Slackware).

Outside of the professional and online venues, I spend my time biking, kiting, working out, reading, singing, running, and competing in triathlons. I've always been a big music fan, previously spending a great deal of time stomping around the indie and goth scenes in NYC and Philly, and hit plenty of concerts when I can. There's always more, but that's best left for conversations that follow.
