Education:

Graduated from Van Nuys High School, Van Nuys, California, 1967.

Entered Northrop Institute of Technology (now University) Mechanical Engineering 1967
Within a year I found myself getting married, with child, and working full time as well as taking 12 units at the local college in my pursuit and dream to graduate from MIT.

Attended Oregon State (Now University) in 1994 taking Computer Science programming courses, while working for Cutler and Company as a System Analyst, Programmer along with serving as Vice-President and shareholder.

All together, I completed 60 college credit units, but never received any formal credentials or paperwork, except the receipts for tuition payments. (Thanks, mom and dad for struggling and making that possible). Hey, for all of you who gave it the old college try and never "made the grade", I will have you know that many of my heroes never "graduated" either, including John Muir, Bill Gates, and Jesus - to name a few - so that's Okay. Keep your chin up and keep on learning - then teach. My dad always said that "you go to school to learn how to learn". Right he was.

Finally, I learned and graduated from the school of hard knocks!

H.G. Wells declared that "Civilization becomes ever more a race between education and catastrophe".

Along with my wife Joanne, I am conducting research, developing, programming and integrating multiple forms of educational media (audio, video, graphics, 3d models and databases) into multiple interactive formats (CD-ROM, DVD, and the Internet). The function of these products is to help educate and train people with these new technologies. Our current focus is working with physicians developing integrated multimedia products that train health care professionals in anatomy, technology and applied procedures.

A major part of the value of this family history is the application of this information to the education and health care of our children, who will benefit from records that have been passed along to them through this family network. Many people do not see that yet, but soon will. For example, the imagery from photographs will be used in analysis and reconstruction of those who have been injured. One does not have to be smiling in such images to achieve the applied value - so hang on to all of your photos, each were taken for a special reason by the photographer.

All other aspects of our heredity will somehow benefit the health and happiness of our descendants augmented by the information pool provided by these family history documents, human intellect, and the use of technology in tying this information together. I encourage and invite you to participate and contribute to this family network in the future by contributing information in future versions.
