I am chasing the dream of being a full-time writer living in the mountains of New Hampshire. Before that I spent 18 years in the consumer electronics industry, most of it in New Product Development. I spent some time as an amateur kick-boxer, "retiring" with a winning record of 2-1. I am an avid gardener who tries to grow as much of my own vegetables as possible in small raised bed plots.
