About

Born November 12, 1949. I remember changing channels on the TV with a pair of pliers. I didn't see a Macintosh until I was a sophomore in college.

MS is math from UNLV

Teacher, Scientific Programmer, LabVIEW programmer

I like origami, math problems, movies that don't say life sucks, walking, and rum raisin ice cream. I also like walking on the beach but I live in Nebraska.
