Some additional information about me.
In addition to my business writing, I've also been focusing on my creative writing. Here's one of my stories that was published on Otherwise Caffeinated:

I'm a music junkie. I spent many years playing music professionally, I started, with Angelo Olivieri, the live music policy at Nightingale in the East Village, and I very briefly did some promoting at the Village Gate in the West Village. I went to Stuyvesant H.S. in Manhattan, which at the time was only about ten blocks from the Fillmore East, luckily for me. Following are links to some of my photographs from that period:
On the Grateful Dead's website:

What a long strange trip it's been, indeed.

I'm a native New Yorker, and I've traveled around the country a fair bit. I've lived briefly in Wallkill, NY, outside of New Paltz, and I've lived in New Orleans briefly as well.
