Thomas Sturm is the Principal Software Engineer for a large interactive media agency in the Bay Area. Previously he has worked in a video game store, earned a degree in Electrical Engineering, repaired washing machines, developed computer games and once helped write an operating system in a summer. He has also spent one year thirty meters underground for the German Airforce, apparently fighting the mole people. He can now usually be found walking the streets of San Francisco with a vintage camera at the ready. He lives in the city by the bay with his wife Kazumi.
