Hey all,

I’m fairly new here, so here’s an #introduction.

I’m a NJ-based #writer and #editor. I've written short stories for #AhoyComics, and am writing songs while learning to play #guitar. I’m a #gamer (TT RPGs and board games mostly), a #comics and #film fan, a #curler. #Burlesque fan. Married and #bisexual. #Ferret owner. Loves #neworleans like no other place in the world. Politically #progressive.

If there's anything beyond that, I'm sure you'll hear about it eventually.

I'm back on #Fosstodon so here's a new #introduction.

Professionally I am a #Network Engineer at a non-profit ISP serving the research and education community in #California. I'm an advocate for #IPv6 adoption and a more secure global routing infrastructure.

Outside of work I'm a geeky 30-something #gay guy in Los Angeles. I'm a #curler 🥌, #hiker, and pub #trivia regular. I want safe streets for #pedestrians and #cyclists, and dream of cities free from traffic violence.

Cheers!
