I am Dave and I live in the SF Bay Area, California, USA.

I have been reading SF and fantasy since I learned to read at age 9. I love older material, including pulp magazine stories, although I do sometimes shudder at the racism, misogyny, and colonialism found there. I love current SF and fantasy as well, and enjoy nominating and voting on the Hugo awards.

I enjoy and appreciate the chance to make ISFDB better.
