The Past

Worked as a chef at The Folkway Coffeehouse and Restaurant in Peterborough, New Hampshire from 1975 – 1978. In 2010 I was active with the Peterborough Historical Society in presenting The Folkway Remembered Exhibit and Concert Series.

I was one of the founders of the Monadnock Folklore Society in 1981.

Spent many years with a blend of freelancing and odd jobs;  carpentry,  landscaping,  playing music,  teaching music,  driving a school bus,  writing.

From 1994 til mid 2009 I worked for what is now TechWeb on the sales, marketing, and project management side of magazine and web publishing for Dr. Dobb’s Journal and several other high-tech publications.
