Who am I? How often do we ask that question of ourselves?
Since I lack the gene that causes me to wax poetic, I prefer bulleted lists:
- Midwesterner, from the “great” state of Illinois
- Suburban boy: big yards, parking lots, shopping malls…
- Youngest of three (and yes, birth order most definitely matters)
- White, cisgendered gay male (look it up, it won’t hurt, I promise)
- Born and bred Missouri-Synod Lutheran (recovering)
- Degree in Music Education from Concordia, River Forest
- Taught instrumental music for five years
- Spent nearly 20 years living in NYC, various parts of Queens, still miss it
- Been working in fundraising for almost 25 years
- Star Trek fanatic (most sci fi in general)
- Love 20th Century classical music
- Met my hubby in NY almost 25 years ago
- Live in the wilds of Snohomish County, 20 miles north of Seattle
- You’ll figure out the rest as we go along
