About Me

  • The common factor in Red Room Editor Huntington Sharp’s work in the varied fields of managed health care, commercial real estate, government law, cabaret, contemporary lighting, and editing is a truly dogged commitment to le mot juste. After studying linguistics and English at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he moved on to law at New College of California, where he edited for and published a commentary in the school's Law Review. It's hard to believe that this Eagle Scout and founding member of the Red Room Writers Society is twenty-nine.

Relationship Status

  • Single

Family

  • My parents, my sister, my brother-in-law, and my miraculous nieces + my contentious, devoted friends = so much to be grateful for.

Interests & Hobbies

  • Reading, writing, editing, connecting professionally and personally, talking about history, geography, politics, and culture over food and drink, and then sleeping soundly.
