Bio
Craig Kurumada became a Browncoat after seeing Firefly on a recommendation from a local, independent video store. Already a Buffy/Angel fan, it took no time at all to become quite obsessed with the 'Verse. Over several years, he has rallied the Browncoats in the rural Redwood Coast of Northern California, based in Arcata, Humboldt County (yes, THAT Humboldt County), California.
Craig has two B.A.s in German and Linguistics and loves to geek out in all manner of things linguistical, historical, musical and anthropological. He is doing his best to show Browncoats how easy it is to pronounce Mandarin.
Oh, the clarinet picture? He plays in an international band called "[Chubritza]," playing the Bulgarian and Macedonian bagpipes, Croatian prim tamburitza, Romanian tsimbl mic and singing in quite a few languages.
He is very happy and proud to join the Signal crew.
