I was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in 1960. It's a nice town, never over 76,000 residents, yet culturally diverse. It was one of the major relocation centers for the evacuation of Southeast Asia, in 1975.  Many of them settled there.  Fort Smith probably has the best Asian food in the country.

I also lived in Coffeyville, Kansas.  I'm not sure why.

For a short time I lived in Houston, Texas. I worked as a IS technician for the Spring ISD (Independent School District).

For almost two years I lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota, teaching computer science at Brown Institute.

 I lived in Cinnaminson, New Jersey for almost a year.

I spent almost a year and a half in Audubon, PA. For all intent, that means I lived in Philadelphia.

In October, 1999, I moved to the state of, Washington.  I moved around there for a .  I lived in Lynnwood, Seattle, Tukwila and Redmond.

In July of 2002 we moved to Los Angeles.
