Factotum [ fak-toh-tuhm ]
A person with an eclectic and diverse list of hobbies, activities, and responsibilities. In this case, a man with diagnosed, but unmedicated, ADHD and a storied history of rabbit hole researching until he knows just enough to pass as satisfactory.

I embody the consummate definition of “Jack of All Trades, Master of None”. Unable to focus on any one thing for an extended period of time, my chaotic brain juggles a myriad of disparate projects with all the skill and dexterity of a disturbingly jovial circus clown.

The Writer

I write books. They aren’t for everyone, but the absolute best way to get to know me is by reading one, or all of them. If you do, keep in mind that my main characters are all different subsets of my personality. You can find links to my books and some descriptions here. Please review the content warnings if you’re the sensitive type, or a liberal, or a conservative, or religious, or atheist, or pagan… there’s something to offend everyone!

Hey men! Are there any male readers left? My books may be of particular interest to you, so you should give them a try. You might be surprised to find there are still a few authors who aren’t obsessed with pandering to the hate-all-men era of entertainment.

The Software Developer

There are a lot of programmers who write books. I wonder if anyone ever studied the reason behind this. I’ve been writing software for over 30 years, starting with QBasic, and moving on to Visual Basic, VB.Net, Java, C#, and PHP. Microsoft C# is, by far, my favorite programming language, with PHP running a distant second. My real computer related obsession lies in database design, performance, and scalability. Check out my job history and follow the rabbit hole that has been my career for decades.

The Hobbyist

This part of my life is a mess of unrelated things. I own a business, work on cars, tear down and rebuild kitchens and rooms, cook, and my latest weird dalliance… I’m trying to make Viking jewelry.
