   mike a's Blurbs
About me:

the basic timeline: born in philadelphia. raised in monroe twp, nj. went to rutgers. lived in the new brunswick and princeton burbs for awhile, then moved north and lived in manhattan and hoboken. spent a few years in seattle before finally landing in st louis (my wife's hometown). hopefully done moving now.

former affiliations: wrsu, wprb, writer's block, caught in flux, the poconos, vh1, the adventures of pete & pete (tangentially, but probably my ultimate claim to fame), the vera project

now: newly-minted attorney at the missouri bar. midwest semi-suburban dad to the two cutest and funniest little girls ever. occasional writer (riverfront times, scram magazine and my own blogs), occasional four-tracker. run the semi-official young marble giants website. still keep up with music as best as i can despite these demands on my time and wallet.

i have been compared to a high fidelity character more than once. i can't decide if that's a compliment, but i like the book and the film so i'll take it as one.

Who I'd like to meet:
people who would like to hire me for full-time attorney work. also old friends and acquaintances i haven't seen in awhile (which is most of you).
