Yes, That is my real name. It is a legal name change and was done in 1998. Everyone calls me "Lefty" It started out as a screen name and I decided to change it because people told me I couldn't have a name like that. I have never been a conformist. I'm very successful at any endeavor I pursue, (except designing web pages!) both personally and professionally and have been at it for 50 years. Don't bother asking me what it was before the name change, as I'm not going to tell you. There was a neat article written about me in the New Yorker Magazine, and I took 11th place in the 2007 Name of the Year Tournament
