Born in Indianapolis, raised from the age of 2 in Alaska, mostly in Anchorage. Moved to Seattle in the summer of 2001. Moved to Ellensburg in 2011, but after six years, enthusiastically moved back to the Seattle area: Renton for two years, and now on Kent's East Hill near Lake Meridian.

Other electronic haunts, in rough order of how likely I am to show up: My blog is Eclecticism, and I'm also on Mastodon and Facebook.
