Gender Male

Occupation Writer, Actor
Location Anchorage, Alaska, United States
Introduction I live and work in Alaska. Being in the bush charges my creativity. Writing and acting full-fills my creative needs. Family gives me peace. Current politics gives us all grief. Money is a fantasy, a made up thing, as useful as air in a balloon. We can only hope the balloon is made of stern stuff.
Interests A person who lives with seasons: Summer is for gathering food: Salmon, halibut, caribou, moose. Winter is the time of artistic creation: writing, acting, playing of music.
Favorite Movies La Docha Vita, The Deer Hunter, Winter in War, The Lives of Others, Lawrence of Arabia, Bagdad Cafe, The Big Chill, The Misfit, Cinema Paradisio.
Favorite Music Jazz. Blues. In short: something other than chords and noise lacking a melody. Check out Gregory Porter.
Favorite Books The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, This House of Sky, Cannery Row, Poetry by Mark Gibbons of Montana, Fiction by Don Skiles of San Francisco.
