I've had many lives: photographer, truck driver, pizza maker, bar tender, deli cook, motor grader operator, riot control bot, craftsman, artist, kite-maker, micro-computer guru, internet evangelist, NSF principal investigator, director, manager, associate director, chief information architect, pontefex, social media novice, script writer, educational media specialist, fiber artist, USDOE panelist, Boulder Public Library consultant, UK HEFC JISC consultant, delegate to White House Conference on Libraries and Information Services, editor, writer, and more.

In brief I'm an autodidactic techno arsty craftsy eclecticist
