Born in Washington, D.C., just days before the Nixon resignation, something in the aura--was it tragedy or new beginning--has stuck on me like a gritty film that drips onto everything I do. I grew up in Daytona Beach, a beach-rat, saxophone player, and high-school cheerleader. From there, I was off to Tallahassee then Boston then Orlando for continuing formal education. All the while, I've been writing--poetry and essays mostly--as I travel America and the world. My most recent move to Tampa, Florida confirms that I am a citizen of the I-4 corridor, and a visitor of the world's skyways, highways, and beltways. I write under the digital avatar, PoetEconomist, and have used my first published work, MOMENTITIOUSNESS, as a new form for sharing Born in Washington, D.C., just days before the Nixon resignation, something in the aura--was it tragedy or new beginning--has stuck on me like a gritty film that drips onto everything I do. I grew up in Daytona Beach, a beach-rat, saxophone player, and high-school cheerleader. From there, I was off to Tallahassee then Boston then Orlando for continuing formal education. All the while, I've been writing--poetry and essays mostly--as I travel America and the world. My most recent move to Tampa, Florida confirms that I am a citizen of the I-4 corridor, and a visitor of the world's skyways, highways, and beltways. I write under the digital avatar, PoetEconomist, and have used my first published work, MOMENTITIOUSNESS, as a new form for sharing the universality of my experience in a deeply intimate yet academic way.
The creative outlet for my critical method, Semiotic Arbitrage, finds life in my writing spaces. In The Poet-Economist poetry space, I strive actively to root out the sublime between the synapses in language. I stand firmly against ideology, including the ideology of rationality that has supplanted the individual with the rules of science. The Semiotic Arbitrage space is a bit more involved. I explode dense poetry into essayistic flaneurism. Semiotic Arbitrage is the trading of ideas or symbols--taking advantage of those symbols' relative weaknesses and strengths-- among (at least three) different people or groups to gain what I consider "cultural profit." It allows us to look at issues or moments--instead of on a binary continuum--as a multiplanar scatterplot. No more right or wrong, right or left, Conservative or Liberal. It allows us to replace the "or" with "and."
Bachelor's Degrees: Accounting, American Studies.
Master's degrees: Economics, Literature.
ABD: English concentration Texts and Technology.
Have had jobs as: Financial Manager, Construction Company Economist, Political Consultant, Night Club owner, Software consultant, University Adjunct, Author.

There was a time when I was a dog devotee, quite anti-cat infact: obnoxiously alpha in all the ways that dog imagery and canine metaphors invoked.

“Outside of the usual bar or nightclub, it's not every day that I get a drink bought for me-at least not by strangers and certainly not on a workday. On that Saturday, in September 2010, it was from three separate individuals.”
