More about me

I'm a retired engineer. I worked in radio and TV most of my career. I spent several years teaching in a community college and also worked for a state university but not in a teaching position.

Activities

I create audio books. I like live theater but refuse to watch TV. I worked in TV too many years to want to watch it. I've seen enough bad acting and bad scripts and far too many commercials. I've been an investor for over 40 years.
