About me A new (1/19/08 and 4/24/08) grandfather, son's son & daughter's daughter!

A technology trainer for Fidessa, a UK-based stock trading software supplier. We handle 90% of the LSE, and a 35-40% share of the NYSE & NASDAQ trade volume.

My seven-second resume: rural MN, MIT, DOD, FACC (Ford), PC, ATT, Nokia, BA, UK.

Our (wife Pat) three grown children have all found the public sector: Chip -- WNET, NYC; Maura -- HS Band Director, NJ; Katie -- StoryCorps.Net, NPR outlet, all of whom we couldn't be more proud.

Maura assured me "we can offer you a challenge teaching here in NJ -- you don't need the NYC Teaching Fellows". She was right. I took this job in the summer of '06 out of a deal with my wife. She basically "financed" my job at BA, and was needing a break from her commute to the DC area! So, here we are.

About my library Recent interests in fiction: social history -- e.g. The Jungle, Bostonians, re-read "Main Street", where and when I grew up -- West Central MN.

Two things I've learned since Nov '06:
I arrived in Cambridge MA on the day eecummings died, and
My first half-birthday was on the day the US bombed Dresden "back to the stone age". And so it goes.
