I grew up on cattle and horse ranches that were always just the other side of Fin du Monde, WY, USA. I've been a cowboy and a hobo and a truck driver, I worked to build big highways, and built fences down along their sides.  I've been a welder in the scene shop of one of the finest Opera Houses in the World. I've been the managing editor of two national magazines and the senior editor of one of them. I've been awarded prizes for investigative journalism in national competition. I was a private investigator for 18 years–working to keep insurance rates high and outlaws on the street. I was one of the test pilots in the first study of hallucinogenics on human subjects that was sanctioned by the DEA almost 20 years after they shut down such research in the 1970s. I've been a manuscript physician for literary agents, tutored writing, read Nordic Runes on psychic hot lines, cultivated techniques in shamanic healing and rode horses damned hard in western movies. I have a son in Alaska and a daughter in Washington State…two truly fine people. And from time to time, when there was no alternative, I went to school and left it as soon as anything better came along. My current occupation is artist-blacksmith (see the blog Kabiri). In 2006 I moved to Venezuela so I could hang a a whole lot longer with an unbelievably fine woman.

My mother says that I've lived the most interesting life of anyone she ever knew. She's only 92, but she's known a hell of a lot of people for someone her age.
