Welcome to my profile page. I gave up on most social networking sites and now post my brief thoughts here and on the fediverse.

About Me
I'm the executive producer of the CPB-funded public radio program Cafe Chill, which airs on about 50 stations across the USA.

I'm also the owner of KRXX 103.3 FM in West Central Nevada, currently being constructed.

A fun thing I do on the side is the Friday Drive-at-Five on C89.5 in Seattle with DJ Lightray. FYI, she's way better than me.
