ABOUT

The “stately, plump” author atop the James Joyce Martello Tower outside of Dublin, Ireland—the setting for the opening scene of Ulysses.

HOME: Los Angeles, CA

WIFE: Tania.

DOGS: Two dachshunds, Pencil and Waffle. (When we got them from @dachshundrescuela they were named, Wetzel and Pretzel. Since we have no affiliation with the mall-based pretzel chain, we changed their names while also attempting to retain their phonetic signature.)

NEOLOGISM: I have been charged with inventing the word “bromance.” I have publicly apologized for this on many occasions.

WIKI: You can read a Wikipedia version of me here. I don’t take credit for “launching the careers” of anyone, nor have I “brought fame to hundreds of skateboarding stars”—whoever wrote this page was being very generous—but, like most things Wiki, it’s otherwise pretty much sorta kinda almost accurate.
