Contact Information

You can try reaching me by telephone at (612) 270-4187. I can't always answer, but feel free to leave a message.

By far, the best way to contact me is by email. I check my email almost constantly. To send me (relatively) secure messages, please encrypt to my public key.

After having it for so long, I can't easily give up hersey @ acm.org, but it's become quite the spam trap. If your email address isn't on my whitelist, my filter will probably can it. My new address is less likely to drop your mail. Sorry to display it without a link, but I don't want it to become another spam collector.

New address: Ben @ BLHersey.net

To send me a text message, use this address. Up to 150 characters will go directly to my phone. phone @ BLHersey.net

The other addresses listed here all forward to hersey@acm.org and get dumped into the same mailbox. If you write to me, there's no need to duplicate.
