I was the typical consumer-only music fan until getting involved with the filk* community in 2004. Since then, I've spent a lot of time on original music, writing and performing.

Outside of music, my activity usually involves computers, cats, cameras, and science fiction and fantasy literature.

Update for FAWM 2026:
I’ll just wing it as usual. I always have a bunch of notes about songs I might write and, when FAWM is over, the list is always longer.
