Founder of Middle-earth Network and Middle-earth Network Radio along with many of my friends, like Walt, John, Candace, and of course Mahj, Ian, and Melmus :) I'm a father, & madly in love with my spouse Julie.

This is where I can come and connect with freinds who share the same interests in Tolkien, fantasy, and things in real life. I wanted to help create a social network like this so I could connect with people who share similar values and do so in a safe environment where people respect one another. Plus I can do so in relative safety and privacy.
