Bio
Born and raised in northeast Iowa. Shaped mostly by years in the Army and more years as a Faceless Corporate Puke.
I earn my living as a Quality and Regulatory Affairs consultant to the medical device industry, which has me on the road and/or in airplanes a lot. I also have about a dozen side projects going on at any given time. At present I'm designing a new high-mobility walker, writing a generic FDA and ISO-compliant turn-key quality system, writing science-fiction and designing a new kind of hunting coat. Yes, I am a workaholic. Blame my father and his Depression/WW2 era work ethic, which I seem to have inherited.
I spend my scarce free time loafing aimlessly in the mountains (I tell my family I'm 'hunting,' 'fishing,' 'hiking', or something like that - which requires me to occasionally bring in a deer, elk, or a few birds, to make it look like I'm actually doing something) and trying to become a noted fiction writer. As of August 10th, 2005, I'm a published fiction writer, so I'm one step closer.
I am also remaking the world in my image. Progress reports will be posted periodically. So far, so good.
In between all these other things, I amuse myself by being a semi-notorious local political gadfly and general pain in the ass. I'm firmly convinced that the Earth and all its inhabitants were placed here for my personal amusement and entertainment, and I comport myself accordingly.
