It used to be simple: I'm a typographer. But now I'm probably best described as a digital prepress production tech. (If it happens before the output device or printing plate, I do it -- with the exception of illustration; I'm not an illustrator.) Also freelance proofreader, copy editor and writer.

I've also sold rugs and carpeting, woodstoves and furnaces, and advertising.

My avocation is thanatolithology.

I think I'm working on what may not be a midlife career change so much as a career expansion -- lettercutting in slate. Got my first lesson this past weekend.

Oh, yeah, guardian to a nursery colony of Little Brown Bats.
