Saje considers himself a Northwest native, despite having lived his early years in places as far flung as Hawaii and California. Some of his earliest memories involve hippies and concerts on the Stanford campus, but swears this hasn't influenced him all that much. He was raised on SF and Fantasy, though he pretty much read anything he could lift off the shelf. If he looks familiar and you think "hey, maybe I went to school with him," you very well might be right. He went to 9 different junior highs in 3 states and 7 different high schools in 2 states. He has two teenage children who live elsewhere, a spouse who lives with him, and entirely too many fur-bearing critters underfoot.
