Personal background
I am 67 years old, married and reside in Centennial, Colorado, U.S.A. My professional experience over the years has included computer programming and various computer application positions using Microsoft Word, Excel and related software. I am presently employed at Echostar Communications Corporation in Littleton, Colorado as a Payment Processor. In a non-related endeavor, I am the author of a visionary fiction novel entitled: Magnificent Transition.
Having worked for several aerospace firms including The U.S. Naval Observatory, NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center and Ball Research Corporation of Boulder, I am now looking forward to having more time for my writing in full retirement.
With a compelling interest in a future that holds great promise for all of humanity, I am concentrating on writing in the realm of visionary fiction where a future life paradise becomes an achievable goal for us all. American Literary Press of Baltimore, MD published my original version of Magnificent Transition in October of 1999. As time permits, I will continue work on a second book entitled The SANE Economy - Sane Economics For A Sane World.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe that the creation of the Universe was not an accident. Logic alone supports the idea that nothing having order and structure can simply achieve existence without a creative process being the primary cause. Logic also supports the idea that everything that exists has a purpose, therefore there must be something or someone to give it that purpose.9The bottom line - Logic demands that there be a Creator a.k.a. God and most likely many Creators (Gods) that have had a hand in structuring the Universe as we know it.
9Life is probably a lot more prevalent on other worlds than any of us can imagine. I feel that some life forms are very different from us, but also that many star systems support human life quite similar to us and are waiting to be discovered eventually. I believe that all of us have a purpose, and that our purpose extends forever and beyond what we call physical death.
9I feel quite privileged to have a small part in the effort to discover extraterrestrial intelligence. One day we will all know about it, and will find a way to quickly transport ourselves to many distant star systems. I believe it will happen in a future lifetime, and that all of us will experience it and learn to cooperate, raise our consciousness, and work toward making our world a fit place to grow and progress. Let us hope that when we do discover other intelligence, we will not be embarrassed that our world has so little of it compared to theirs.
