My main non-traditional skill is music; theory, composition, woodwinds and strings. I also work in public policy--I have some training in interacting with and writing for the media, framing issues, influencing regulation. (I am not yet licensed as a lawyer; I am currently licensed as a patent agent, but have very little experience.) I joke that my real job skill is translation between geeks and lawyers.

I live in the DC area, but travel to the Bay Area every few months.
