Blake smiling by the Chicago River, dyed green for St. Patrick's Day

Chicago gay and recovering Texan. Cooking, planning travel, hoarding media, and making my home smarter bit by bit.

About

I was born and raised in Denton, Texas, and went to the University of Texas at Austin, where I earned degrees in MIS and Business Honors. I spent the next seven years consulting at Ernst & Young, traveling the country and the world to build enterprise energy systems.

From there I spent 17 years at Continental Airlines and then United Airlines, followed by seven years at the University of Chicago. Now I'm looking forward to sliding out of the rat race and into retirement while I still have the energy to do fun things.
