I am a former Habitat for Humanity construction supervisor in Washington, D.C., currently working for the state student leadership program in Washington. I grew up - currently live - in Packwood,Washington, which is nestled in the upper reaches of the Cowlitz Valley between Mt. Rainier Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams. I attended the University of Idaho where I received a BA in Classical Studies. Upon graduation, I spent two years in the AmeriCorps program, first tutoring Jr/Sr high school students at the high school I had attended, then to Habitat for HumanityinWashington, DC. I have been recently working on several home design projects, and am the author and primary sponsor of the effort to encode the Duployan shorthandinUnicode, which was added in version 7.0 of the Unicode Standard, June 2014.
