Biography

Work History:  Currently retired.  Worked for 7 years as a systems engineer for Digital Equipment Corporation, 7 years developing an international order processing / inventory control system for Van Dusen Air, 10 years as an IT consultant, and 15 years developing custom applications at General Mills.

Education:  BS from Iowa State University, MA from the University of Michigan, and 3 additional years of graduate study at the University of Florida, all in Behavioral Neuroscience.

Interests:  I have a wide-ranging and nearly insatiable curiosity.  I love history, classical music, theater, art, photography, bike rides, walks, hikes, travel, gardening, wood working, and talking to interesting people.  I am particularly concerned about environmental issues.  I spent most of my adult life in the Twin Cities.  My communities are Touchmark where I live and the Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship where I am active on the Green Sanctuary committee, the audit committee, and many other groups.  I regularly attend the Noon-Hour Philosophers meetings and am almost always in the midst of one of the Great Courses and a good book.
