About lpratt948
Born and raised in the North Bay, I relocated with my family to Silicon Valley in 1987 after being "on the road" since 1969 - long story, best told in (hopefully) not too boring chapters at group gatherings such as Happy Hour Hounds.
Have worked locally as a technical trainer and/or writer and am currently paying the bills working exclusively as the latter.
My growing passions have been freelance writing and photography, and since most of what I photograph is more interesting than my aging mug, I'll be updating "my photo" with some favorites from my expanding portfolio.
See you at happy hour.
