About Me These days it seems like everybody has a website, whether they are important or not. I am pretty self-absorbed, yet still intimidated by the task of writing an autobiographical blurb. I used to call myself the psychobionutrimusicianist, and I suppose the term still applies. I am interested in everything, but pay special attention to psychology, microbiology, immunology, nutrition, writing, and music. I also enjoy the visual arts, in addition to many art forms that would otherwise be considered "crafts" such as stained glass, sewing, fabric dying, and air brushing. I've also dabbled in web design and digital photography, and know my way around Adobe Photoshop. Playing in the kitchen keeps me occupied when I am not sewing or writing music. Health problems and other related drama have made it necessary for me to follow a very restricted diet. My recipes come from a unique ingredients list that draws from the raw food movement and various carbohydrate restricted hunter-gatherer diets, but with a dash of sanity. Trust me, I'm a scientist. Or rather, trust that I AM a scientist despite the fact that I only have one college degree and nothing published. Illness has forced me into a "break" from my career and I have decided to spend that time getting my health under control. Something that began as an innocent and very personal journey has unexpectedly grown into quite a monstrous undertaking, with the potential to change the lives of many who suffer from the diseases of civilization. I've been treading in some rather controversial territory, but it has blossomed into a new career direction for me and possibly a book. I consider myself fortunate to be a part of this incredible movement. Visit my blog to track my thoughts and progress, although it is not recommended for those with a low tolerance to blunt honesty. As a songwriter, I continue to promise friends and family another studio LP. I am still scraping together money, musicians, and a studio for the project and putting the final touches on the songs. In the meantime, I may be found at various local open mic nights as well as playing keyboard in the band Mysterytrain.    To barely pay the bills, I've crowned myself Queen of Odd Jobs. I currently have four very part time gigs going with some local outfits including a physician/entrepreneur, a non-profit art school, a mom-and-pop health food store, and Penn State. I'm always on the lookout for more opportunities.
