I'm a PhD chemist, New England born and raised, living and working in the Boston area. I'm also a musician and writer and a music addict since birth. I'm a huge fan of many bands, especially the Beatles, as well as my local sports teams (Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots, Bruins). I'm an avid runner and fitness enthusiast which helps me and my wife take care of our 4 wonderful kids who keep us very busy! In addition to my blog, I'm a published author of two books on the rock band Blur, with more book projects in the pipeline, provided I can find more hours in the day to work on them.
