| Your personal background. |
| Born in Ohio but raised in Minnesota I graduated with a BSEE degree from the U of MN in 1968. I began my career in computer maintenance and quickly moved into interface/communications design and development, then onto computer system design and eventually project management. When the opportunity arose, I joined a small biotech start-up company in the early 80’s and recently retired from my entrepreneurial duties. Hobbies include homebrew computers, web development, amateur radio (N0AGB) and both fresh and salt water fishing. |
| Your opinions about Einstein@Home |
| I've always been fascinated by every aspect about the structure of our universe - from the minutest of particles to the vastness of space, trying to comprehend our role in the scheme of things. When I joined Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1971, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. There I was in the forefront of space exploration – first with MVM 73 then VOL 75 and finally MJS 77, all spent on the design and implementation of ground and test telemetry systems. But – what a joy watching those first pictures of mars as they were being received. When I came across the Einstein project, well, it was a no-brainer. I can’t think of a better way to use the 99.999% of my computer’s idle time. I wish I had a similar project for myself. |
