Since 2006, I’ve done a combination of all three for various colleges and universities throughout Southern California.This website serves primarily as an archive for my feature and editorial work. I chalked up more than 100 articles while in service to The Simon and have proven a reliable contributor to alumni publications wherever I work. Some of my college work – two pieces of which won USC’s Art Buchwald Award for Satire – is also around here somewhere.
I’m also the owner of the world’s largest Sliders website and cofounder of The Ultima 6 Project, a 3D remake of Origin’s Ultima VI.
