I grew up in Holyrood, Kansas, a very small town right in the center of the state.
After graduating from Holyrood High School in 1969, I attended The University of Kansas in Lawrence, graduating in 1973 with a B.A. in Physics.
Feeling sufficiently masochistic, and realizing that there was a recession going on out there, I decided to go on to graduate school at Indiana University (not "The University of Indiana") in Bloomington. Working with Prof. Bill Schaich, I finally got my Ph.D. in Physics in 1980.
In 1979, I started a Postdoctoral appointment at Rutgers University (The State University of New Jersey) with Prof. David Langreth.
Then, in 1981, I moved to Maryland and did another postdoctoral appointment at the University of Maryland College Park working with Prof. Ted Einstein (no relation).
And finally, I started working for the Naval Research Laboratory. I live in Bowie, Maryland. Bowie on the Web tells you a little bit about our city. My family and I attend the United Parish of Bowie, a Reformed Church associated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the United Church of Christ.
You can find everything you ever wanted to know about Maryland at Sailor's Home Port. Take a look, hon.
