Editors and Producers... Yes, I do national radio and print gladly with no advance notice. Drop me a line.
Why I do this... I like to write. I like to entertain people. I'm a wannabe gag writer who grew up reading 1960's Mad, 70's National Lampoon and 80's Spy. For some reason, I get paid to write about online shopping instead.
Where I live... San Francisco, but I'm eyeing LA after two decades in the Bay Area.
Bio... I went to MIT. I didn't graduate. I grew up in working-class Maine, but live in upper-class San Francisco. 20 years of information technology experience and an overlapping 12 years writing for national publications. This explains everything about me you need to know.
