I was reared on a farm.  After college, I served in the Army (’64 to ’68) and was promoted to Captain.  I was promoted from engineer to manager to executive of various electronics companies (‘69 to ’85).  I acquired an electronics company by a management, leveraged buyout (’85 to ’91).  I sold my company in 1991 and changed careers.  First I became an inventor, and then started pursuing my teenage dream – theoretical physics.  However, most fields require considerable investment for journal subscriptions, etc.  NASA created the NASA-ADS web site and a web site now known as the ``arXive’’.  So, I became first an astronomer then cosmologist.  Dr. Castelaz of Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) helped introduce me to the field.  I now instruct courses in Conceptual Cosmology and Astronomy at Blue Ridge Community College and write papers.
