My undergraduate degree is in music education. Jobs since college have included teaching music to middle and high school kids, running a department of a non-profit organization, and working as an accounting associate (with no background or experience in accounting). In August 2006, I completed my Masters of Business Administration degree.

I have been blogging since shortly after the term came into use. Before that time, I was blogging without the catchy… catchphrase. I’ve been designing and programming websites since late 1994. Before I discovered the web, I ran a popular bulletin board system (the kind you call with your modem and watch the text show up on the screen at 1,200 bits per second). Some of my other interests include languages, linguistics, photography, cognition, science, and theater.

I’m a young thirtysomething Masters degree holder and outdoor buff, employed within the new media industry. A frequent personal blogger in the nineties, I’ve recently retreated somewhat more behind the scenes. My portfolio includes savings and other monetary investments, and along with my partner, I own and manage six residential rental units.

Beyond working towards financial goals, I believe that it is possible to maintain an “ethical” budget, and endeavor to support the causes and organizations I believe in through more conscientious spending practices.

I floated around from job to job, and from state to state, for most of my 20s, living primarily on credit cards and the good will of my friends. It wasn’t until age 30 was near that I found myself married and filled with ambition. I finally have cemented a career in Interaction Design, wherein I hope to build a good reputation and eventually someday work as an independent consultant.

Compared to the other authors here, I am a relative newbie to the field of personal finances. I’ve made plenty of mistakes, but I’m learning from them, and I hope to help readers of the site avoid the same problems.
