Personal background
Currently I am working seven days a week at two different jobs: I am the "Weekend Programs Supervisor" of the Education Department at the Harvard Museum of Natural History (formerly called the MCZ or Museum of Comparitive Zoology) at the main campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, where I do all the live animal shows during the weekends, as well as feed and care for many of the 40 , live vertebrates and invertebrates which are kept there for educational purposes. Besides that, I mentor about 30 volunteer workers in the museum during the weekend. I do this for about 17 hours each weekend. During the rest of the week I am the "Planetarium Coordinator" at the Cormack Planetarium in the Natural History Museum in Roger Williams Park, a city park in Providence, Rhode Island, the capital of that smallest of the 50 states of the USA. At this main job (35 hrs./week), I help run the planetarium, maintain the various equipment and help do the many planetarium shows, as well as other miscellaneous duties around the museum. We have a Zeiss ZKP3, Skymaster projector which is about 7 yrs. old. On the personal side, I am 51 yrs. old, have an undergraduate degree in Geology from the University of Rhode Island (main campus), with a double major in Journalism. I have published a number of short, educational articles on the sciences over the years, mainly in the earth sciences. I have strong interests and/or hobbies in: astronomy, paleontology (especially vertebrate paleo); fluorescent minerals, both collecting and displaying; collecting fossils, rocks, crystals, bones, ancient artifacts and antiquities, numismatics (especially ancient coins, such as those made in ancient Rome, Greece, Persia, etc.). I also collect art, musical instruments, music recordings, books, magazines, stamps, and many other things. I am a fair musician on the classical guitar and mandolin, both of which I have played for decades. I also enjoy poetry, photography, videography, cinema, history, museums, travel, foreign languag
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
It would be fantastic if we made contact with another civilization in the near future, like during my lifetime, especially if it was morally and/or spiritually more evolved than ours...
