Background
I returned to school after 27 years in the work force to obtain my Masters degree in Geosciences from ASU. I have a BSEE degree from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, which I received in 1979. In the ensuing years, I have been an instrumentation engineer, a design engineer, a network design consultant, and an independent software developer. I have owned and run a networking consulting company (Network Group, Inc.), a small instrumentation manufacturing company (Environmental Sensing Devices, Inc.), and a software development company (Silverheels Software, Inc.). I have also been a landscape photographer (Silverheels Photography) I am a Professional Engineer (retired) registered in North Carolina and Louisiana, a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and a Certified PowerBuilder Developer. My current interests are in understanding the dynamic processes in the Earth's upper mantle and lower crust, particularly the relationships between mantle flow and plate tectonic processes. |
