Born and raised in or near Salt Lake City, Utah. They baptized me but it certainly didn't stick. From there I've traveled the country a good bit. Made it across the Atlantic a few times in a burst of fabulous luck and happenstance and saw most of Western Europe. I'm currently awaiting sponsorship to Asia.

I'm a proud, if not terribly outspoken, atheist. The Pacific Northwest became my home just before Covid. I very much doubt I'll leave.
