Self Portrait


Alarm Clock

Built an alarm clock to wake up for an 8am solid state physics course. It opened with soft music, then tickled with a feather, then rang a bell. If that didn’t do the trick a critter swooped down from the ceiling with a cup full of water.

Lunar Excursion Module

Worked at Grumman Aircraft in the LEM Microelectronics Lab as a summer intern. It was a lab that had all the ‘Right Stuff.’

SAM D missile system

Built the radar system display logic at Raytheon. First job out of school. This missile system was a bad big boy toy.



Submarine detection system

This mean machine was difficult to track. We built a helicopter bourn system that measured the ionization of water droplets above a submarine.

Electronic drawing boards

Genigraphics built a $500,000 electronic drawing board. 35mm Express was a $300 software package for a $2,000 PC that was equally productive. It was a forerunner of Freelance and PowerPoint.

RC model boats

Built a fleet of remote control boats and sailed them around the US and Europe.

Tug Boat

Yellow Submarine

Pirate Ship

River Boat



Build-It-Yourself

Build-It-Yourself has developed a playful, after-school enrichment program, in collaboration with the MIT community, that teaches kids (8-18) to use technology constructively in a unique global laboratory. State-of-the-art Internet tools are used to deliver consistent, high-quality, high-value instruction at a fraction of the cost of traditional instruction.

This project rocks!

Building a Nipa Hut in the Philippines

Witnessed the most amazing display of teamwork among farmers who could wield a machete like a brain surgeon working a scalpel.

Drawing caricatures at the local blues saloons

You can find the most soulful looking people hanging out at the Cantab.

Strumming my guitar

Bach Minuet in G major

Birth of the Blues

MEE, BEE Cornell University, New York

Favorite courses

Spanish, Philosophy of Religion, Arc Welding, Graphic Design, Digital Logic Design

Least favorite course

Solid state physics. Can’t imagine what one could ever build with eigenvalues that would put a smile on anyone’s face.

Lived in Dorm 6, Sigma Phi fraternity, Quill & Dagger Tower, and a College Town flophouse next to Zinck’s saloon.

Captained Cornell’s tennis team. All-Ivy team.

(Received no marriage proposals from this picture in the Cornell Daily Sun.)
