I am a writer and critic, formerly an editor. When not writing, I serve as the Product Manager at Chicago Public Media, home of WBEZ (Chicago’s NPR station) and the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. I am a believer in Narnia, the island of Myst and Oceanic flight 815.
I am famously critical of brunch.
I once started to learn the bagpipes. I can still do the scale, but not much else. That is more of less the extent of my musical talent.
I live in Texas with my wife and son. It’s usually hot here.
