What do you want to know? Authors are, in general, really boring people whose idea of a good time is to have four uninterrupted hours sitting at the keyboard.

Here are a few random facts about me, for what they are worth:

I was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a long time ago (O.K. 1964).

I have two sons, two cats but only one wife. We live in a part of Boston called Jamaica Plain in a house that used to be bright blue but we finally painted it.

I was a teacher for a really long time. I taught a bunch of different stuff including Latin, Math, English, but never P.E. I then stopped teaching and spent seven years being a stay-at-home dad, but my kids eventually started going to school so I went back to work. I am now a math coach at the Conservatory Lab Charter School in Boston, which means that I spend most of my time working with teachers about how to teach math better.

I have spent a lot of time in school. I graduated from Haverford College in 1986 with an interdepartmental major in Classics and Religion. I have a masters degree from Teachers College, Columbia University in Educational Administration and an MFA from Emerson College in Creative Writing.

I haven't owned a television since the early '90s. My students used to find that fact disturbing.
I also play ukulele, just not well.

My older son took these photos when he was four which is now a long time ago, but I don't think I've changed that much, so I'm leaving these photos up until I find some I like better.
