I grew up in Titusville, New Jersey, just up river from where
Washington crossed on Christmas Eve. I went to college in Colorado (The Colorado
College) and graduate schools in Bellingham, Washington, and Cleveland, Ohio.
I worked for a time as a technical writer where I met the
proprietor and sole-owner of A/E Marketeers, Catherine Copich. We moved to
Radford, Virginia, for a position in the English Department at Radford
University and have stayed for the clean waterways and lovely mountains,
though I often wish they were the kind that held more snow. Telemark skiing
is among my more feverish pursuits, but I also enjoy biking, canoeing and
growing tomatoes. We live in an old farmhouse of revived lath and plaster and
odd angles with two children, Sam and Elliot, and a menagerie of animal
dependents.
