I'm a former professional whitewater guide who's now making his living as a computer programmer.
I currently live in Petaluma California, north of San Francisco in Sonoma County, part of California's wine country, with my partner Charlene Marie. You may know me from Hawthorne Valley School (which I went to from 1st through 7th grades, and I'm still working on reconciling my Waldorf experiences from that), my time in Newtown Connecticut (7th through 12th grades, graduated in 1986), my years in Chattanooga Tennessee, or my time in northern California.
Since the wiki lends itself to a certain sort of content, let's reduce my life to bullet points.

Work and Life Highlights
Chattanooga Tennessee
I guided with Outdoor Adventure Rafting, and worked at Signal Data for many years, before being one of the founders of Chattanooga.net, along with Mike Harrison.
I went to UTC for a few years, rock climbed a bunch, and hung out with various computer geek groups including FidoNet362 (I ran node 1203) and the Apple user's group.
Northern California
Surprisingly, old friends have picked out my name in movie credits, courtesy of my years at Pixar where I worked on the Toy Story Animated StoryBook and Toy Story Activity Center, and then with the demise of the interactive group moved over to work on RenderMan.
Todd Gemmell and I ran a consulting company called "Coyote Grits" for a few years during the .com boom, following that I did a stint at Gracenote working on "CDDB Service 3", some time at Alvanon working on some hardware and software products to visualize and communicate clothing fit and design, and currently work with digitalfish on the rockingest 3d character animation software you've ever seen.
I lived in Fairfax California before moving out here over the hilll to Lagunitas, and many people recognize Flutterby.com before they recognize anything else about me.
These days I'm often seen road biking with Marin Cyclists.
