Early life and education
Hart was born at the St. Anthony Hospital in Dodge City, Kansas. He grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina and St. Louis, Missouri.

Career
In partnership with his sister, Amoret Phillips, web painter, his websites include "Non-escalating Verbal Self-defense," "Succinct News," "Moon Fooling," and "The Black Pool."
In pioneering therapeutic art, he balances childhood sexual abuse with cultural and political expressionism, at another website, "Talifish Studio," writing extensively about those experiences at "Deadbeat Paying Job," and "Magic Wand Garage."
Among people "pouring their hearts out on the Internet," his research on "What to say to mean people, to phony people, and to stupid people, without getting down into their gutter" found its roots in a rare self-published book, It's a Trade Secret.
He also drives Taxi 1010 in San Francisco, California.
