UCHE OGBUJI is a Poetry editor at TNB. You can catch more of the prolifically fraying strands of his life on his home page and his weblog or, heck, even Twitter.

To expand a bit, he is a Nigerian-American entrepreneur, software engineer and writer who lives near Boulder, Colorado with his wife, three sons, and baby daughter. He studied Electronic Engineering at The University of Nigeria at Nsukka, and Computer Engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. He was co-founder of Fourthought, Inc. in 1998, which he ran until 2007, when he co-founded Zepheira. In his spare time he trains in AKKI Kenpo Karate, skateboards, snowboards, plays and coaches soccer, reads and writes poetry.
