He has an MFA in English from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks and taught in Alaska, Spain, Indonesia, and Thailand before settling back in the mainland U.S. He now lives by the Oregon coast with his partner, Kerry, and their chinchilla, Princess Priscilla Chewchilla Fluffybottoms (Chewie). They enjoy long walks on the beach (without the chinchilla) and watching the sunsets, when the Oregon weather permits.
