Greg Hemsath
Howdy, I’m Greg Hemsath, aka Greggers to many of my friends. “Handy Gnome” is but one of my alter-personas. I’m handy with tools and quite good at figuring out the way mechanical and such-like things work (or should work if they don’t).
The most important single fact to know about me is that I am married to a true goddess of a woman named Bonnie. You’ll often read mention of her in my posts. She is not a perfect wife, but she’s a pretty near perfect GreggersMate.
A great deal of my personal history involves the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire, where I was a Constable, a Rope Maker, a Cook, a Master Builder, a Prop Department Assistant, a Back Stage Manager, an Assistant Guild Master, a Guild Master, and a Privy Cleaner Extraordinaire. Bonnie & I were married there in Celt Camp on May 23, 1987, at the old, old Agoura site. Sadly, Faire ain’t what it used to be, but then, neither am I. We (the Faire & I) parted company this year (2007) to the extent that for the first time since 1986 I didn’t even visit Faire as a customer.
There is a bit of the aspiring mad scientist within me—and the little boy who loves to turn over rotten logs in the hope that there’s something wriggly underneath. I love Mythbusters even though their science sucks… they get to blow things up!
My formal training is in science, and I have a B.S. in Biology. I’ve never used it in any job I’ve ever had. I’ve worked as a farm hand, janitor, radio DJ, television VJ, gardener, construction laborer, towel boy, dishwasher, retail clerk, assembly line worker & supervisor, forklift driver, customer service guy, real estate agent, software tester, programmer, multimedia producer, desk top publisher, editor, proofreader, technical writer, technical support, artist, and animator. I’m 51 years old and still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
This exposition will be expanded and elaborated from time to time, so stay tuned.
