About Me

Hi, I’m Spike.  Born and bred in The Bronx but have been calling Hong Kong home for more than 12 years.    For more than 20 years, I’ve been doing the corporate MIS thing, but my interests range far beyond that – music, film, travel, food, photography, computers, gadgets, politics, social media, women….

Please check out my new photo blog, Spike’s Photos.

I started Hongkie Town on December 4, 2004 over at Blogger.  Hongkietown was named one of the top ten English language blogs in Hong Kong by the South China Morning Post.

I made some major format and content changes to the blog in July 2006, and all of the content from July 14, 2006 through November 2009 has been brought over here to Hongkietown.com, which went live on November 19, 2009.  (Unfortunately I’ve been unable to migrate the comments, at least so far.)

I’ve also been writing for BC Magazine since 2006 and you can look here for an index of my columns and articles there.

I’m also a partner and photographer at PASM Workshop, a revolutionary new concept for photo studios in Hong Kong.

You can follow me on Twitter here.   And a Facebook fan page is here.  Or reach me by email at hongkietown at gmail dot com.
