Biography

In 1995 I had been living alone for almost five years. After hanging out on a gay BBS and newspaper personals I had met lots of guys who wanted a short fling, but no one that I wanted to live with. My journal entry for New Year's Day in 1994 spelled it out. I listened alone on New Year's Eve to one of Gustav Mahler's Rueckert Lieder, Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (I have become lost to the world). I had indeed become lost to the world. Living in one of the world's gay meccas, I had simply lost interest in dating.

I had helped a friend, Meredith Karns, develop some software for his business. Meredith and his brother Morgan run a specialty printing company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Meredith came to San Francisco looking for help writing software for a new printing system he was developing. My ex introduced Meredith and me, and I started working for him.
