BioI am a UNIX systems administrator at the University at Buffalo. I have a wife, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
uncacreamy, and a son. My main hobby is tabletop role-playing, but I also dabble in cooking, live action role-playing, genealogy, and writing. I used to run a World of Darkness MUSH with my wife called Crescent City and staffed on two others, Night & Fog and DarkWeb, but I am not currently involved in any online role-playing. I am an atheist and nominally libertarian and objectivist, though neither label is entirely accurate anymore. I am attending classes part-time to finish my degree in Cognitive Science and trying to establish a side line in writing RPGs as a freelancer, though it is tough with the job, school, son, and wife.
Early Childhood (1974-1979) - Born on Long Island but moved to Buffalo while still a wee lad.
Elementary School (1979-1986) - Lived in a development and was a generally weird kid.
Middle and High School (1986-1991) - Lived on a horse farm, became an Objectivist, and found myself at Calasanctius.
College (1991-1995) - Wandered without purpose, was dark and angsty, and eventually ran out of money and dropped out.
Courting (1995-2000) - Spend a lot of time MUSHing, met my future wife, and struggled to get a real job.
Marriage (2000-2005) - Talkeduncacreamy into marrying me and got our own place.
Parenthood (2005-present) - Had a son, Griffin, and got hired at the University of Buffalo.
