I am an editor for the ICANNWiki.com site based in Portland, O.R. I'm an avid bicyclist, lover of homemade food, ceramicist/mud enthusiast, and devotee of good live music. I look forward to the days in which the sun escapes from behind the clouds, but survive the gray weeks by going out with friends or making the most of sedentary life.

Please use my Discussion page if you have any questions or need any type of help with the site.

I have a profile on the site.
