I am multiracial -
Chinese, Amazonian Indian, Cherokee, Crow, Portuguese, Irish, and maybe Scandanavian. The dominant factors could be said to be equal parts from four continents.

Born in San Francisco, grew up in Oakland, Lompolc, Colorado Springs, San Diego, LA, Fresno, and mostly Berkeley. I went into the Air Force at the start of 1992 despite being an avowed progressive liberal. That sent me across the globe to Korea, where I lived for four years and met my wife Sujin, who was an accountant with Samsung and native of Seoul. While there I did a lot of traveling, learned my second language (Korean of course), and learned some very interesting stories of people I wish I still knew.

I've worked in Semiconductor robotics, tech support, and front end web design / programming.

In the fall of 2001 I went back to school full time. When events of the day resparked my lifelong interest in social fields I switched from Computer Science and Graphic Design over to Political Science with a Criminal Justice Minor, graduating with a 3.8GPA in May 2005 from San Francisco State University.

I've been writing on politics, law, and race for years in 'net forums' here and there alongside numerous university papers. I am also a digital artist, something I began in 1999. Check the links at left to see my galleries, and in my posts I might showcase a sample from time to time.
