About me

I’m a Seattle native with more than a decade of experience as a content publishing professional at Microsoft (14+ years total at the company). During that time, I also did freelance work for commercial Web sites, non-profits, and magazines. My time at Microsoft was a challenging mix of writing and project management, dealing with issues as varied as globalization, localization, ESRB game ratings, scriptwriting, and the technical issues of electronic publishing.

A lifelong passion for Egyptology led me serendipitously to an opportunity to work with Dr. Mark Lehner‘s organization, AERA. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to dig with Mark’s team near the Giza pyramids, help AERA raise funds, and to produce the AERA Web site. I spent my tenth visit to Egypt blogging for the team in 2009. I once made a weekend round trip  from Seattle to Cairo at the request of one of AERA’s donors; fun but catatonically exhausting.

I live in a cold, gray, wet place but I love intense heat and sunshine. Someday I might have to move all my family and friends somewhere else.

I hate loud noises but love the sound of big radial engines and Harley Davidsons. This year finds me the proud parent of a 2003 Heritage Softail Classic 100th Anniversary model.
