I’m a busy guy who’s not getting as much exercise as he needs, paddles folding kayaks for fun, and writes past his ability to clearly and consistently communicate sense. I like taking pictures of things I see while exploring local waterways, or abandoned industrial structures and commercial buildings.

I’ve lived in Germany, Spain, Turkey, Greece. I’ve lived in California, Oregon, Kentucky, and Tennessee. As a younger man, I spoke fluent French when drunk. As a child I spoke passable German. I am a native English-speaker.

I am what most pollsters would call a born-again Christian, and if it were not for my faith, I would be an anarchist or a super-villain. As a younger man, my dad said to me, only half-joking, “No, you have a light side,” as opposed to a dark side. Prior to earning a baccalaureate degree, I tested into, but did not finish a law school and a Southern Baptist seminary. I hold a degree in journalism. I am not Al Gore. I am Christov of Stepford.
