I'm a freelance writer living in Keizer, Oregon, specializing
in the physical sciences, technology, and the environment. My work has appeared
in Scientific
American, Slate, Physics World, Audubon, New Scientist, Wired, Salon,
Popular Science, Nature, Discover, The Boston Globe, The San Francisco
Chronicle, Yale Climate Connections, Physical Review Focus, Discovery Channel
Online, Science, and many other publications, and on the syndicated radio
program The Weather Notebook.
I have a B.S. in mathematics and physics (double
major) from the University of New Mexico, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in physics from
the State University of New York at Stony Brook. I've also done graduate work
in the creative writing department at Arizona State University.
In other incarnations I've been a systems engineer
at AT&T Bell Laboratories and MCI Communications, a business
partner/software developer/whatever-it-took at a startup telecommunications
software company, Gold Systems, in Boulder, Colorado, and an assistant editor
of technology at Laser Focus World magazine.
I've also gone through a fiction writing phase or two
-- my short stories have appeared in The Seattle Review, Sycamore Review,
Hawaii Review, and other publications.
