I oversee instructional, research, and administrative computing services at the UC Berkeley School of Information. The I School, as it is often called, is located in historic South Hall, the oldest building on the Berkeley campus.

I live with my wife, Patty, in East Richmond Heights, CA, where our lives center around the care and feeding of three felines from hell.

I have been studying and teaching several Japanese cultural arts for the past 25 years. I am on the board of directors and a founding member of the Sennin Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting traditional Japanese cultural arts.

Whenever I'm not allowing myself to be mesmerized by the haunting glow of an LCD display, I enjoy several outdoor activities, including:

• SCUBA diving in the chilly waters of Monterey and Carmel (and warmer waters whenever possible!)
• Sailing on San Francisco Bay
• Hiking in the hills and mountains surrounding San Francisco Bay

I've put together a small archive of some of my underwater photos for your enjoyment.
