I was born in Turin, Italy, 1967.
I studied science in Turin (where they gave me a BSc in Geology on the condition I’ll never come back), London (where I thrived, working for Shell UK), Bonn (too briefly, alas! – but long enough for a Master in Applied Micrpalaeontology), Urbino (from which I fled gripping a PhD in Earth Sciences). Along the way I was also able to catch a master in Communication of Science.
I served my country playing Dungeons & Dragons in the Air Force.
Through the years I have been a call center operator, language teacher, scarecrow, university researcher, freelance researcher, statistics guru, post-doc course teacher, translator, author, content crafter, art show coordinator, editor, lecturer, game designer, fantasy writer, teacher of Taoist Philosophy, book reviewer, web designer, bicycle repairman, renewable energies pundit.
I currently live in Castelnuovo Belbo, a 900-souls community in the hills of the Monferrato area of Northern Italy.
