Currently

I'm living in the Twin Cities with my wife and partner in crime, Dawn, dog (Yoshi) and hellcat (Martini). Currently contributing to Yahtzeen and New Patriot (a lefty blog) as well as my own site, Let's Fight. I rediscovered homebrewing this winter and have made about 60 gallons of beer in the last 6 months. Wanna' get drunk?

Highlights

• With the help of Mark Botschner, booked the very first "punk rock" shows at the old Kaddatz Hotel (http://www.fergusarts.org/rental.html) in Fergus Falls. Booked the second one, too. Got roped into working out the logistics of the third despite the fact that by the time all was said and done, 7 bands played, including a very young Dillinger 4.

• Founded the band Anatrek Monkey with Monty Botschner. Sorry.

• Published six issues of Carothers Brothers with Lee Jensen from about 1994 to 1996. People have finally stopped asking whether or not I dislike them or think they're annoying. Before Carothers Brothers, I published two issues of Sally's Lowrider (where Lisa Renee was conceived) and an issue of Burning Sensation.

• Was an early donor to Fargo's short-lived DIY Center. Booked a couple of shows and ended up getting calls from bands for the next four years.

• Has been involved with Yahtzeen in it's digital form since 1996 or so.
