Vita
My name's Jonathan Woodward. I go by "Jonathan", "Jon",
"JW", or "Woody". Your choice. I was born in 1969, so,
unless this page is in desperate need of updating, I'm 34. I was born in
Massachusetts, USA, and I've lived in New England all my life. I got my degree
in Computer Science from
Wesleyan University in 1993. I'm a
freelance writer, mostly working for Steve
Jackson Games, MonkeyGod Enterprises, and White Wolf
Publishing. I've got submissions in all over the place, also. My day job is web design and engineering.

I'm an ex-Army Reservist; my MOS
was 88-Victor (Railroad Brakeman). I've worked for several software and
hardware companies, including FTP Software,
Legal IMS (legal s/w), ETC Software (multimedia),
Canberra (radiation detectors),
BioSystems (various sensors),
Iris Graphics (hi-res inkjet
printers), Precision Guesswork, ResumeCARD,
Jenzabar.com, and American Financial Systems.
I've also done some work in graphic design, and I once managed a retail games
store called Games & Stuff. My hobbies run the gamut of the geekly arts:
reading, cartoons, science-fiction, comics, surfing the net, rpgs, tcgs, Star
Trek, computer games, et cetera, ad nauseam
My Geek Code is:

In case you're the sort who wants more than dry statistics in a webpage, my
role-models (and what of them I admire) are:
- Jack Kirby, for his imagination
- Buckaroo Banzai, for his polymathness and raw cool
- Isaac Asimov, for his wisdom
- Bugs Bunny, for his moxie
- Maurits Cornelis Escher, for his knowledge of things
hidden
- Gomez Addams, for his joy and fashion sense
- Kimball Kinnison, for his rock-solid moral center
- Peter David, for being a "writer of stuff"
- "Big" Barda Free, for her passion
- and Harry Tuttle, for doing good regardless of opposition
If you want to meet me - and, hey, who doesn't? - I'm a regular attendee at
Arisia and
DragonCon.
