Who am I?

If you’ve spent even a minute or two reading my blog posts, you might get the idea that I’m a wee bit obsessed with aviation in general, and computer-based simulations of flight in particular. I’ve been designing and developing addons for Microsoft’s marvelous Flight Simulator series for a few years now, and the experience has only heightened my interest in the arena.

In fact, as a direct consequence of my simulated flying, I began training last year for my “real world” pilot’s license. So far, I’ve racked up about 50 hours in a Cessna 172, and were it not for the fickle fall/winter weather in Portland, would probably have my slip of plastic by now. Soon, soon.

In addition to winged pursuits, I’m also working on a novel currently. For a sneak peek, visit the “teaser” site at http://www.thebigspin.org/ . Presently, I’m working on a combination of my pastimes combining flight ’simming and fiction for a series of missions for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Keep an eye out!
