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, the Washington
Post, 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.
