Me

What do you want to know? Vital stats? Okay, 40 years old, around 5'10", about 165 pounds, short brown/blonde/grey hair, and size 9 1/2 shoes.

I'm married to Betsy Appell. We were married at the San Francisco Zen Center Beginner's Mind Temple.

I have one older brother who has three great children.He's a wonderful photographer.

I have a cute kitten named Scoshe. She was born during the last week of July 2003. Some day I'll put a picture up of her.

As I said on the front page, I work for salesforce.com I'm a senior technical writer, but the majority of my focus is on our information design.

I don't own a car (my wife does, though). I use public transit as much as possible, including taking BART to work. When needed, I can get a car from City Car Share. I'm lucky that I live in an area where living without a car is easier (and cheaper) than owning one.

I moved to the Bay Area in 1998 after attending college at New Mexico School of Mines (now known as New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology). I lived in Socorro, New Mexico, from August 1984 until I moved to San Francisco. Before that I lived in Cape Coral, Florida, and I grew up about 30 minutes outside of Virginia, Minnesota.

My favorite software application is emacs.

My favorite sports team is the Minnesota Vikings.

Anything else? Drop me a note.
