I was born in 1957 in Port Lyautey, Morocco (now Kenitra) and grew up in Minnesota. I graduated from Hamline University in 1993 with degrees in history and philosophy. I am a polytheist; I honor the customs and traditions of my Norse ancestors. I founded Mos Maiorum Foundation (http://www.mosmaiorum.org) to further the study of Paganism as ethnic religion and work as a freelance writer.
