| Your personal background. |
I live in Herndon, VA. I was born in Brooklyn, NY, in 1958. Until 2000, I was a computer programmer/database administrator/corporate instructor; I quit my job to be a stay-at-home dad. When my daughter started attending preschool full-time, I decided to start a new career as a high school teacher. I now teach Math and Computer Science at Falls Church HS in Virginia.
<p>
Schools that I've attended include PS 238 in Brooklyn (grades K-8), John Dewey HS in Brooklyn (9-10), Clarkstown HS South in New City, NY (10-12), Cornell University (Bachelor's degree in Math and Physics), George Mason University (Master's in Computer Science), and Shenandoah University (education courses).

My hobbies are reading speculative fiction, collecting cameras, and photography. Special interests within that are cameras from the former Soviet Union, and stereo cameras. As I write this in March 2005, I'm a first-year teacher; this means that I don't actually have time for any hobbies. I'm looking forward to getting back to them this summer.

I have a web site at www.flock.org, if you want more information. |
| Your opinions about Einstein@Home |
My interest in Physics goes back to elementary school. In college, I was primarily interested in general relativity and particle physics; the most advanced course I took was General Relativity with Saul Teukolsky in 1978-1979.
<p>
Since then I've gotten mostly out of touch with Physics, and I've forgotten most of what I knew, but I still have the interest. I've recently read a couple of books on string theory.

I don't have strong feelings about the project; I'm too new to it. But, I find it interesting, and I have several computers that I don't like to see sitting idle when I'm not using them.
