As of this year 2008 Anno Dementia, I am 45 years old. I've lived in Cleveland, Ohio for 17 of those years.

I was born in a town called Bethlehem...no, I'm sorry, Binghamton, New York. I spent most of my formative years in and around there, with a short stint spent in Rapid City, South Dakota. I graduated from Chenango Forks High School in 1982.

From there, my life settled into more or less mundanity. The happenings between then and now are really of little consequence, except for my marriage to Ana in 2000. With her I gained a son, TJ, who knows me simply as Dad or Evil Daddy Octo-Spider. He's 11 now.
I also gained a small host of friends, crewmates all of the mighty Imperial Klingon Vessel Doomslayer! I am known there as Cmdr. Bastian K'Hyde vestai-Makhleod, Chief Engineer and Third Officer. I get to stay in the back while the other mucks...um, fine officers try to get us blown up. A link to the Doomslayer homepage is on my Links page.

Since 2005, I've owned and operated my own business. I am a lifestyle hypnotist. What is lifestyle hypnosis, you ask? Quite simple, really. No matter what your lifestyle is, hypnosis can help it or enhance it some way.
There's a link to my business page at the top of the Links page.
