About me:

I cover music for the North County Times, a 95,000 circulation daily newspaper in San Diego - if you're a band in the area, click on that link (or the NCT profile in my Top Friends list below) and add us as a friend!

I also oversee our religion, books and movie coverage - if you have a story to pitch on any of these subjects in the San Diego or Temecula areas, shoot me an e-mail.

I publish/edit a literary/arts 'zine at Turbula.net and maintain an archive of my writing at Trageser.com with more than 1,600 record reviews. I also write the monthlyHot on the Web column about on-line life for San Diego's ComputorEdge magazine.

Most importantly, though, I'm husband to my wonderful wife, Barb, and father to my wonderful children Larissa, Chris, Elizabeth, Connor and Clara Grace!

Who I'd like to meet:

Friends with shared interests in music, literature and science are always good!
