Born in 1958 in Pocatello, Idaho, I moved just before my junior year in high-school to live with relatives in Idaho Falls. This following a chaotic and difficult childhood and adolescence. In 1984 I relocated to Tempe, Arizona by virtue of auditioning for a synthesizer band looking for a vocalist. I\'ve traveled to Europe and Asia. I finished a B.A. in French in 2003; also studied Russian and Arabic languages. I\'ve worked as a cook, a teacher, done construction work..you name it, I\'ve done everything. Almost.
