About Me
I am a man living in Seattle, Washington, a lover of words (a great fan of the late William Safire, and his weekly "On Language" column, which for many years appeared in The New York Times Magazine), and a lover of dance, music and theatre as well. I have a degree in Drama from NYU, have performed for many years as an actor and musician, and am currently working in the field of research, for a company which writes grant proposals for energy companies. My real love, besides words and writing, is dance. I am hoping to share my thoughts and opinions and experiences with all other Visual Thesaurus users, and am happy that such a site exists.
