I am a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. I was born and raised in this region, unlike most other citizens of the Bay Area who are from another state or another country. I am a veteran of the punk/metal/new wave/oh-my-God-what-did-we-do-last-night club scenes of the San Francisco Bay Area in the Eighties and the early Nineties. I run marathons, I write novels, I meow back at cats and say hi to strange dogs that I meet. I am also a web applications engineer and a dedicated worker bee for the Oakland Athletics.
Some of my fave bands: Frontline Assembly, The Pogues, Killing Joke, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cocateau Twins, Gwar, Motorhead, the Damned, Dehd, The Cramps, The Meteors, Bongwater, Circle Jerks, Naked Aggression, Chicks on Speed, test Department, L7, Laibach, Einstürzende Neubauten, Lords of Acid.
