From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm a second-generation energy research scientist, with three decades of related experience. U.S. Department of Energy uses me as an expert author and lecturer in the energy field. I've been involved since the original 1978 U.S. Solar Energy Tax Credits were in place. I created my first Zero Energy Home with solar-heated year-round indoor swimming pool in 1979.

I've been hoping to donate some of my knowledge to Wikipedia for the betterment of mankind. I believe that energy is one of the most important issues we now face, since it is closely linked to so many of the problems of humanity today.

I love the God who created the universe and entrusted Earth to our care. I strongly believe that energy in harmony with nature is an important solution for so many of the problems our planet now faces. I want to give back to society some valuable things from the bountiful gifts that I have received.

I used to be IBM's top executive-suite international consultant on large-scale advanced-technology real-time system integration. I have a background in leading-edge Artificial Intelligence from Stanford University. I was a primary creator of the world’s most-successful IBM mainframe software system, and I concentrated on state-of-the-art zero-defect enterprise system scalability.

I've made my money - don't need to work, and now I'm "doin' my own thing" (self actualization - smile).

I'm also a health nut about nutrition, exercise, and mental aerobics. - Licensed pilot, former airplane / sail-and-power-boat owner, SCUBA diver, avid high-energy swing dancer, and improvisational comedian (as a hobby). I'm happily married to a wonderful wife (who is an engineer, pilot, and SCUBA diver).

I'm not any good with Wikipedia yet, but I'm trying to learn (slowly). My entire professional life, I've concentrated on content, and let others handle style.

I'll be glad to answer questions. I invite and appreciate CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, if you have any for me. (I don't respond well to unprofessional, immature, foolish, attacks about any subject.)

I've learned a great deal over the years from the feedback of others, but as I say and my ID implies, I'm a geeky scientist, not a politician. I have strong opinions about some things that I have studied and done for many years, but as a scientist, I have always been taught to have an open mind. “Lifelong learning in an ever-expanding universe of endless possibilities.”

If you have a preferred way for me to communicate with you, please let me know. I have unlimited North American telephone service, if you have a qualified technical reason to talk. Ask me what time it is, and I may tell you how to build a better atomic clock. (Chuckle)
