| Personal background |
|---|
I fell in love with astronomy in college while studying to be a teacher. I wrestled with a career-direction change so that I could focus on the skies but chickened out to stay in teaching.
While teaching I promoted astronomy occasionally especially with partial solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, the space program, and meteor showers. My students usually were very excited about these events.
I stopped teaching after 24 years to change careers. Having taught myself to program computers in the 1970s, I am now (2002) studying to earn a computer programming certification (MCSD) in Visual Basic, SQL, ASP, VBA, VBScript, and Java Script. I hope to use them in my next career.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I do believe that intelligent life must exist somewhere else in the universe. It is too big for us to be the only ones. And we would be too grandiose to believe that we are the only ones.
My wife thinks I spend too much time on Seti@Home and tie up the phone line "all of the time." She may be right about the time I spend, but it gives me pleasure to be a part of this project and to see my statistics grow and grow. Who knows when or how we will discover life on another planet. BUT IT WILL BE DONE!
