Welcome to Eph Words
RSS FeedThis blog is where I post words. I'm Eph. I write words. Eph Words.
Get it?
I'm a creator, engineer, father, friend, and curious human living in Bremerton, WA. Here I write about my life; share my thoughts; practice radical transparency. Maybe I'll share some prose or poetry, stories about the Pacific Northwest, local history, technology, or whatever else strikes my fancy.
You've been warned.
