Hello,

I guess this is the place I'm supposed to tell you a little about myself, I hope.

PhD in Chemistry, Univ of Illinois BS from Indiana Univ MBA in Marketing from Univ of Cincinatti

Over 30 years of industrial R&D experience, ranging from consumer products, speciality chemicals and, as they say, life science tools. I love the interface of science and business, which means I can tie the attreactiveness of new technologies to their market potential via financial analyses of project and market assumptions. I've traded my skill of Powerpoint business presentations (It looks good, boss, so lets do it) to become a science teacher in a small, private high school. It is a great time to be teaching science. I find Wikiversity very helpful in finding quick reviews, actual formulas, and different perspectives for my lectures.

If it makes any difference, I enjoy digital photo and video editing and often dream of applying these skills for better science instruction. And I love outdoor activities such as backpacking and river rafting.
