I spent most of my working life as a musician and instrument builder. The last ten years I have spent learning mathematics and physics. I am working on my Ph.D. in applied mathematics at the University of Colorado at Denver Mathematics department. I am currently supported by a grant from the U.S. Navy to study methods of stabilization of cranes on ships. Below are some of my interests.

    Microtonal Music

  • John Starrett's Microtonal Music Page
  • John Sankey's MIDI Scarlatti

    I am also a luthier, and I make all my own instruments.
    I learned the craft from Harry Fleishman who is a mighty fine luthier himbadsef.
