Education

B.S. cum laude, Astronomy, University of Washington, 1971. Member, Phi Beta Kappa (national scholastic honor society)

Video and photography

I am an amateur videographer / photographer. Among other things, I do a lot of pro bono work for girls' high school sports teams near where I live in Redmond, WA (USA) - Issaquah H.S. girls' soccer (state champions the past two years) and IHS basketball (currently in the playoffs) as well as Redmond H.S. girls' fastpitch. If anyone wants to meet me, drop by RHS for one of the fastpitch games this Spring [1]. I'll be in right field. But I can't spend much time socializing - I'll be filming.
