AIW



I work for a for-profit software shop, Kunz, Leigh & Associates.

I formerly worked for a non-profit, Grand Rapids Community Media Center. That's the parent organization of WYCE, GRTV, Wealthy Theatre, The Rapidian, an education department, and my former department, IT.

I am a formerly active contributor on Stack Overflow, but I feel the management of the site has mishandled several interactions with the community and has violated our trust to handle all that user-generated content, so I quit contributing.

I am a skeptic, an atheist (non-evangelical, nor a hardliner like Bill Maher), and a retired internet troll. I love to geocache, ride my bike on converted railroad trails, and spend a lot of time in the woods. I'm married, a left-libertarian, and generally do not participate in electoral politics. I hold a CPL permit.

I love everything about Michigan, from the craft beer to the parks to the music (no link, I think the current wiki page about Michigan music needs lots of work.)

I enjoy reading greatly. Some of my favorite authors are:

I also enjoy dystopian novels, but I've burned through the good ones, that I know of. If you have a suggestion from this genre, a comment on my talk page would be most welcome indeed.

I told you all of this mostly so you know where my biases lay. Talk to me if there's a problem -- I'll listen.
