Intro

I grew up playing in the mine shafts and tailings of a Superfund Site
My devotion to technology is deep but I know the destruction that enables it.
So I track patterns below the surface that tell a hidden story. 

Life is the Ultimate UX (User Experience)

Despite a childhood surrounded by waste rock in a Montana mining town, books and films were my window on worlds beyond everyday life. 

I knew that education was my passport out of hardship, still it was largely the luck of a few solid genes that kept my on track out of town and on to higher learning.  That origin, as deep as a hard-rock copper mine, is within me.
