About this author

edit data

I was born in Anchorage, Alaska, and spent my childhood in Tacoma, Washington. And now I live on the East Coast. I’m not quite sure how that happened….

You can also find me on Facebook, where I talk a lot about ants (too many), coffee (too little), and cheese (never enough!).
