About me

I was born in Minneapolis and raised in the east end of Duluth, Minnesota. I was the co-class clown in high school. I worked in television news for a half-dozen years as a videographer/editor in both Duluth and the Twin Cities. I worked many years as a film/video editor of commercials, documentaries, and corporate image videos. Digital photography and Photoshop rekindled my interest in photography. I have two grown sons. My wife is a teacher.

Science in my life

What is science to you?

I've been fascinated with natural history (particularly paleontology, dinosaurs, geology, and astronomy) since I was about seven. My interest rubbed off onto my younger brother who, unlike me, went on to get degrees in science.

I would invent

A time machine.

Technology I love

My laptop (MacBook Pro), my digital camera, camcorders, non-linear editing programs, the Internet, and most importantly Adobe Photoshop - what an amazing application!

Technology that drives me crazy

Computers and video.

What technology do you use every day?

Computer, Adobe Photoshop, and the Internet.

What math do you use every day?

I count on waking up every morning.
