History

My hometown

Beaumont, California.

Other places I've been

Being an Air Force brat, I lived in San Angelo Texas, Albany Georgia, Fairbanks Alaska, and Riverside California before I turned five years old. My dad retired early from the military and I did most of my growing up on the edge of the California desert, near Beaumont. My mom moved to Berkeley CA when I was in college, so the Bay area became home. Since 1972 I've lived in Massachusetts.
