Bio

Born in Australia in 1964.  I lived in Birmingham, England, and Belfast, Northern Ireland, from 1970 to 1973. I later settled north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and then in Toronto to complete my first degree and work in the electronics industry. I moved west to British Columbia to complete a university degree in engineering.  After graduating, I spent two years teaching Native Americans in New Mexico before relocating to Portland, Maine. In 2012, I became a naturalized U.S. citizen. I am a proud father of two daughters and a son. I currently work remotely and reside in Scottsdale, Arizona.
