A storyteller, traveler and Internet technologist. Born and raised in the shadows of the foot hills of Angeles Crest California, he enjoys spending his free time amongst the hills and trails. A weaver of words on subjects, both mythical and historical, as such he practices the art of traditional storytelling. Ask him to tell you a story sometime, but be prepared to listen a while, best with a nice ale, or better yet - a home brew. Himself a home brewer, MadPoet loves trying new beers. As the Irish saying goes, Is túisce deoch ná scéal, a story requires a drink.
