Education:
- Graduated from University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA,USA) with degree in Aerospace Engineering (1967)
- Graduate work in Applied Math at Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (Long Island, NY,USA) 1968-1969
Employment:
- Grumman Aerospace Corporation - Thermodynamic analysis on Lunar Landing Module.
- Lockheed Martin - Mathematical analysis and modeling, related software development and test for large systems
- Retired in 2004 and have continued with my 30 year hobby of analyzing Relativity Theory and attempting to devise experiments which can distinguish between the Lorentz and Einstein viewpoints.
Personal:
- Married (3 children and 10 grandchildren).
- Would like to find a university with an optics lab and people who understand the experiment proposed in one of my papers (Fresnel Drag vs. Einstein Velocity a Case for Further Investigation), agree that it is worth performing, and work with me to get funding and actually perform the experiment.
- See published papers below.
- Recently (June 28, 2009) wrote a poem in about 10 minutes (see Modern Physics abstract). Not sure where it came from so quickly.
