About
I have been a photographer, steel worker, sailor, nuclear engineer, security guard, dishwasher, field archaeologist, high school teacher, question writer, editor, and – lastly – an exhibits designer.
For the last seventeen years, I have worked in 3D design, electrical and mechanical design, cabinetry, mount making, and gallery installations. I have work in the Museum of Science in Boston, The Maryland Science Center, The National Museum of the US Navy, The Naval Academy museum, and in galleries and private homes.
I also make stuff just for fun. -
