I'm a freelance writer living in Stayton, 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.
