A little about me:

I served as chairman of the Oregon High Desert Grotto, a local grotto from Bend, Oregon, for five years. Our grotto is an affiliate of the National Speleological Society (NSS). This means I like to go caving! I survey and explore caves. I find new caves too. I've probably found nearly two-hundred new caves in Deschutes County. I have published over a dozen issues of the Oregon Underground, the newsletter for our grotto.

One of my personal projects is the Horse Lava Tube System, which starts in the Deschutes National Forest and runs through the east side of Bend, through Redmond, and beyond. It contains over 100 caves of varying sizes. My goals are to survey the remaining caves in the system and publish a book (not for public consumption) on it. I currently have a good draft. Another companion book which is a bibliography on the Horse Lava Tube System is nearly complete at almost 100 pages in length, but still a work in progress.

I have also been a fan of the band Floater since late 1996. Back then, I started up Floater's first fansite called "Waiting on a Vision," and it was wildly successful, with over 150,000 hits in less than two years. That was a lot for the younger days of the internet, and for such a small band. Because of this, I attained more than a passing interest in Floater and remain a vigilant supporter to this day.
