This website contains my blog; information about my published books and writing projects; photos and links to my past and present music projects; images and commentary of building a log house and wooden sailboat in Alaska; and much more!

I grew up near Eugene, Oregon, and studied anthropology and literature at the University of Oregon, later attending graduate school at Western Washington University. After adventures in Oregon, Washington, Afghanistan, and Alaska I married and moved to Southeast Alaska, where my wife and I raised our two girls. After twenty five years in Alaska we moved to the far northwestern corner of Washington state, where we still make our home.
