I have worked in the IT/Internet industry for 20 years. I live in the culturally rich and flower laden Park Ave neighborhood in Rochester NY with my son. In the past few years I have written for several music based publications and run a fan blog for the Buffalo based band Aqueous. (@unclephilsblog). Also I like long walks on the beach....
