Tucson, AZ, USA
I was born an EUB minister's son in Ohio during the riots that following Dr. King's assassination, and we moved to Arizona when I was eight. My oldest sister took me to a Chuck Berry concert in Tucson when I was 11, and I ended up studying classical guitar at NAU in Flagstaff while getting a Commincations degree. Geology classes at NAU led me books by Edward Abey that led me to law school in Vermont. Vermont being too far of a drive from the Grand Canyon, I went back to Flagstaff, got marrried with children, worked as a lawyer for Indian tribes and schools, and played music in the bars at night (first with Damn Close from 2009-2012 and then with The Regrettables from 2012-2018). After divorce and DUI settled in nicely, I moved to Tucson in 2018, where I still live with a son in his first year with the Tucson Fire Department and three dogs not affiliated with the Tucson Fire Department. My daughters and grandsons live in Reno.
