Has taught math, physics, astronomy and engineering for 40+ years, a dozen+ of those at the two-year college level. Experience with electronic learning includes a video-less distance-learning physics class he developed and ran for two years in the mid 90s; four quarters teaching for an online college; and forty months tutoring online. He has incorporated spreadsheet use, in all subjects, since the early 90s.
After spending most of a decade teaching high school in Asia, he traveled to Kazakhstan for a what was supposed to be a 1-week skiing trip, which turned into a year and a half...in early 2020. Now back in the US.
Outside of education, research interest has centered on scientific computing, especially applications to fluid simulation and atmospheric science. He most recently worked as a computational physicist for an optical system simulation company.
