He has previously served as curator and presenter for the Subtext Reading series in Seattle, WA and DC Poetry at the DCAC arts center in Washington DC. His sound works include P.I.S.O.R. SCARES, a series of mind-melting Halloween themed sound collages now in it's 21st year, and an ambient-drone work, "Music for Plants and other living things."He is the founder of the Putnam Institute for Space Opera Research (P.I.S.O.R.) and currently lives in Portland, Oregon.
