I'm a freelance writer living in Salem, Oregon,
specializing in the physical sciences, technology, and the environment. My work
has appeared in Scientific
American, 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 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.
