I have been to China many times. It is a wonderful country with a rich history and a vibrant culture. Recently, I have been teaching in the Physics Department at Fudan University in Shanghai. In 2006 I was on sabbatical at Fuling Normal University, now known as Yangtze Normal University. Fuling is at the confluence of the Yangtze and Wu rivers, downstream from the major city of Chongqing. Please visit my China pages for more information.

I got a Ph.D. from the University of Missouri-Columbia, an M.S. from the University of Maine, and a B.S. from Boise State University. I also attended Michigan Tech, North Idaho College, and the University of Idaho. No school ever asked me to leave.

I spent many years as a recreational and competitive skydiver. Look over my skydiving history. I also advise the College Skydiving Club when it exists, which isn't lately.

I have relatives in Barbados and Frankfurt, both of which I recommend you visit (the places, not the relatives). I have enjoyed the hospitality of the people of China and Egypt several times, and I miss my many friends there and elsewhere around the world.
