I have over the decades: owned a science fiction specialty bookstore (16 years), attended (since 1975) and occasionally run (from about 1977 until 1993) numerous conventions, worked for a while (5 years) at Fermilab, the particle accelerator in Batavia, worked for a while (4 years) at Tropel doing prototype optical designs, and have interests that range erratically.
Currently I'm living on the Forest Moon of Seattle, working part time for the mad geniuses at Studio Foglio and going to grad school at Seattle U to get an Executive MBA.
Down the road I'm planning to apply for a job at some big corporate place that will let me work with large groups of people doing interesting things.
