"One grows absurdly attached to a potto." -- Patrick O'Brian

I'm originally from Philippi, West Virginia, but now live in London. I have a bachelor's degree in political science from Alderson-Broaddus College and a continuing education diploma in Biblical languages from Birkbeck, University of London. I work in a job with no relation to either of these, and could contribute to articles about finance, but probably won't.

Some topics I'm interested in are zoology (especially primates, especially prosimians), cuisine, comic strips, West Virginia history and culture, and famous frauds and hoaxes (like Go Ask Alice and Kaz Demille-Jacobsen). My heroes include David Attenborough, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Barbara Grizzuti Harrison and René Girard.

I'm married to User:Hitparade.
