I'm just a boy, standing in front of a city, asking it to love them; I'm also into #foxes

Retired software engineer, architect, program manager, and director. I currently work as a luthier focused on restoring vintage guitars. Occasionally, I consult, for non-profits and small government agencies, pro bono. I am interested in art, literature, music, and science. I value Friendship, Love, and Truth.

Profile pic is of my dog, a Red and White Irish Setter. Header pic is of Mt. Rainer with a lake reflecting the mountain, the sky, and trees.


I boost a lot of Seattle related content and follow people who seem to be in the area. I try to limit boosting of images to those with descriptions.

Opinions expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of any of my employers.

This is unfortunate for my employers because my opinions are awesome.

I live in Seattle. I make music. I record music. I bake bread. I read a lot of Science Fiction. I have two cats and I am not too proud to use them in a cheap ploy to get engagement.
