About Me
The common factor in Homepage and Special Projects Editor Huntington Sharp’s work in the varied fields of managed health care, commercial real estate, government law, cabaret, and contemporary lighting is a dogged commitment to le mot juste. He studied linguistics and English at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and law at New College of California, and he edited for and published a commentary in the latter’s Law Review. It's hard to believe that this Eagle Scout and founding member of the Red Room Writers Society is twenty-nine.
Of course there's more to it than that!

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