Stephen Tures
(scroll down)Who am I?
Bio
I was born and raised in El Paso TX US, and lived for 13 years in San Francisco, CA (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and returned to El Paso TX US in 2011.
What keeps me busy?
I write and record music (see Music Work below).
I do remixes, master albums, and sometimes do soundtrack work.
I volunteer my time with the Franklin Mountains Friends and the Franklin Mountains Wilderness Coalition.
I (occasionally) drink fancy beer and sometimes cook (Lemon Pasta recipe).
I love the outdoors! I primarily hike, but mountain biking, ziplining, horseback riding are also great.
I play the occasional videogame.
I made a Mastodon instance for musicians!
I post the occasional video, and shoot the occasional drone music video.
I'm game for whatever else sounds like fun.
I'm married to Angela Reza Tures, with an awesome kiddo Anya and three troublemaking cats.
I work for this large company, previously IT here, and before those I worked various odds and ends like laptop assembly lines or doing retail. At my current job, I first worked in IT and subsequently videoconferencing platforms engineering. I accidentally co-invented GVC (history, video), an internal videoconferencing room appliance-like platform that later refactored to become Meet Devices.
I've also worked from home since 2011 and I have some advice for anyone in a similar situation.
I used to publish my email here, but that got abused, so just DM me on social media if you need to talk.
