I was born and raised in quiet northeastern Pennsylvania,
escaped at a tender age and have not spent much time looking
back. However, it must have left some impression... 12 years of
catholic school in a town with only history going for it is not easy
to forget.
Currently, I reside in the Tampa Bay area of Florida where I soak
up as little sun as possible, and get to the beach when I can. Mostly
I enjoy the rainstorms, the lack of a real winter, and the transient
nature of this town.
For a living I raise butterflies and enjoy that about 99% of the
time. Managing a garden / ecosystem / lab requires a good
amount of time, patience, observation, and pure luck. The world
of the non-profit attraction takes some getting used to but you do
find some of the most interesting people drawn to it.
On the side I seem to have more hobbies than I can count. I enjoy
calligraphy, illumination, making art, reading, poetry, theatre,
fine wine, excellent gin (Bombay only please), indy films, dancing
in Ybor clubs, dive bars, live music, playing cards, writing poetry
and any form of debate. I am also an active member of the Society
for Creative Anachronism, which seems to take up a lot of my
time.
