In order to survive in society, I usually work a day job as well. Among other things, I&#8217;ve been a customer support rep, a comic shop manager, a cab driver, a parts\/IT guy for a plastics company, and the safety guy on a construction site. I have a degree in Computer Science with minors in History and Studio Art from Transylvania University, which is located in Lexington Kentucky and reasonably vampire-free. I currently live in western Kentucky a few miles from where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers meet.<\/p>\n<p>Other potentially useful information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong>Also Known As:\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>Bucky Manitoba, Chainsaw, Hudson Hawk, Hunter S.
