I think and write for a living. Generally, it's as awesome as it sounds. I work at Big Spaceship, a digital agency full of fantastic folks. Before that I spent three years writing/producing a documentary about the real people who inhabit virtual worlds. On my off-time I manage the blog Popten and write poetry, screenplays and prose. I like telling stories in all sorts of media.
The bio I send out:
