Personal information

This editor is a retired journalist and journalism professor with a bachelor's degree in government and a master of arts in journalism. He has worked for daily newspapers and in government (as well as international) public information. Some day he will get around to designing a more attractive user page.

He might be found sitting at his computer, sipping wine, and looking out the window of his two-bedroom, one-bath cabin at a portion of the Los Padres National Forest or admiring the various birds, ground squirrels, or bunnies hopping through the sagebrush. He might be playing Scrabulous or fiddling around with Wikipedia articles. Very seldom will he be doing anything productive, having already done a bunch of it in his life.
