Biography
In first grade, I wanted to be an astronaut. In eighth, a police officer. For college applications, I said scientist. After graduation, though, it was off to Asia for several years. I did hold down some real jobs, mostly in finance — for Boston’s transit authority, for Japanese companies, and eventually for Fidelity Investments, in between, travel. I’ve hitchhiked through northeast Asia, take a freighter to Bora Bora, overland to Tibet, backpacked across Tasmania, and climbed Mt. Kinabalu on Borneo. I learned a diminutive Indonesian, Mandarin, and more than a little Japanese, and then pretty much forgot it all. I’ve eaten bugs, raw horsemeat, and too much dubious, brazier-grilled goat. I only got sick twice.
In my thirties, all that ended. I bought my first car, finally met my wife, and attended MBA school. For a while, I wore a lot of business casual. Then our daughter was born, and I’ve been at home ever since. She has a brother, too, and now they’re both teenagers. My wife still works, which is great because we need to eat and pay taxes. We live outside Boston and go camping every summer. Oh, and I’ve published some novels.
