About the Author

Mumon is my Buddhist name. I'm a Communications technology researcher/manager employed in the consumer electronics industry. I've got a ridiculous number of patents on which I'm an inventor; if you're using a 3G phone you're using technology created by me (in collaboration with others). Doing things that make stuff for people is in my lineage.

I'm married to a very wonderful woman from China, and we have one son, who is our pride and joy.

I abide in Vancouver WA, though I'm originally from NY. My wife originally comes from Wenzhou.

I've been practicing Rinzai Zen Buddhism.
