My standard bio reads as follows: Father, Burner, Anarchist, Snark Master, Recovering Okie, Cancer Survivor, Aspiring Writer, Part Time DJ, and full time MuthaFuckin’ Santa!
Father – I am blessed to be the single parent of two amazing sons I call the Agents of Chaos: Conductor & Lil’ Wolf. They’re totally a handful, but so worth seeing them grow up into the men this world needs. They’re also third generation Burners.
Burner – I have been attending Burning Man for the last 20 years. The culture, moreso than the actual place, have changed my life radically.
Anarchist – I don’t do political discussion very often, mostly because my voice isn’t built for that. But I identity as an anarchist and before you comment on what you *think* that is – let me ask you to look at the true meaning of the term ‘anarchy’ – without rulers.
Snark Master – Like I really need to explain that one to you?
Recovering Okie – Like a recovering addict only not nearly as fun. Raised in Oklahoma and warped for it.
Cancer Survivor – In 2018 I was diagnosed with stage 2 colorectal cancer. I spent that year fighting it, going through chemo, and documenting it all with #CancerTales.
Aspiring Writer – While I enjoy writing my various Tales, my dream is to get my fictional work published.
Part Time DJ – Somewhere between Art Bell and Howard Stern, I do a bi-weekly radio show on ShoutingFire – Burning Man radio 24/7/365. And then I take my show and turn it into a podcast.
Full Time Muthafuckin’ Santa – While Snarky Santa is my alter ego, I love Christmas and embrace being Santa – not the one you want, but the one you deserve!
