I was born in Newcastle, NSW, Australia and I'm surprised I survived the dangerous and quasi-legal activities I got up to as a kid. It's blind luck that I made it past 20 years of age. I studied math, chemistry and physics at the most intensive levels that the school system could offer until the end of high school when I threw all of that away for the arts. At the end of high school, I made one of the handful of good decisions in my life and spent a year working at Young People's Theatre, a local theatre company, before going to Macquarie University in Sydney. At uni, I studied english literature, journalism and magazine writing but concentrated on film and video production. Of course, that career never eventuated and I now work in information technology.

In my time I've done lots of stuff. Currently, I write bad fiction, play wargames with miniature figures, read and waste a lot of time on roleplaying games. You can find information on my roleplaying and wargaming past-times elsewhere on this site. Likewise, you can find information on my interest in the French language and old-time radio on another page on this site. The bad fiction no one gets to see.

Kathi is the only constant in my life. She's a strong, creative woman currently working with her own business making bondage gear for livestock and working as a theatrical costumier for various theatre groups around Brisbane. Of course, we met at a live-action roleplaying event where I held a knife to her throat for three hours. Our fates were sealed and our relationship beagn at the next event where I played a vampire and she a goth-wannabe-vampire. I bit her neck and she was mine. Bwahahahahahahahaha!

We have three cats: A sleek grey cat named Mercury who demands attention and cuddles all the time; a huge, overly muscled orange tabby named Fearless, who doesn't live up to his name; and a little white and stripey tabby named Gypsy who follows anyone and everyone around. These guys make sure that there's always someone to come home to.

Here is my GPG key for those who are interested in such things.

FOAF is an acronym for 'friend of a friend.' It's an RDF format that aims to encode personal details and human relationships. Among other applications, LiveJounal uses it to encode data about who knows who. My FOAF file is best viewed with FOAF Explorer.

Below are a series of links that other sites which encode my online presence. Why are they here? I don't know but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
