Ask a Question, Any Question...

On an endless pursuit of wisdom, in a world that seemingly ignores it.

Ask the questions, and your questions will become the future topics.

My father was a history teacher and taught US History. I grew up reading and had access to a lot of books both at home and in the library. My mother used to take us to the library once a week to exchange books. My education was liberal arts but in the sciences, my BS is in Paper Science & Engineering. I worked for five years and then returned to graduate school, my MS is in Applied & Mathematical Statistics. This gives you an idea of how I scrutinize data.

I was raised Catholic, but would not be considered to be practicing. I believe in God but acknowledge it is strictly a matter of faith. I have studied, to various extents, all of the major religions and many spiritual practices. I read scripture as poetry not history or science. Scripture is full of deeper truth but not required to be factually accurate.

I taught for 10 years at SUNY Empire State College, New York's adult education college for non-traditional college students. I have mentored approximately 200 adults through the process of designing their own individualized degree program. I have taught over 250 adults a course called; Math for Decision-Making which incorporates critical thinking, problem-solving and math skills in working through self selected life problems. I also taught advanced level studies in Technology Management and Operations Management. I facilitated research and debate teams in how to first examine an issue and then debate from an assigned position.
