I was born in Wisconsin and have lived most of my life in the Washington DC area and New England.

I currently live in Maine and teach political science at Central Maine Community College.

I enjoy reading, writing, popular culture, art, technology and history.

I have been a Fulbright Scholar in Denmark, a candidate for state representative in New Hampshire, a newspaper columnist in Maine, and a research assistant for Meet the Press in Washington, DC.  I have also been teaching political science for about twenty five years.

I still enjoy politics.
