            ---EXPERIENCE---

1994-2006:  Computer operations and maintenance consultant to local small town
                  bank; implementer of e-banking and ATM connectivity needs. IT
                  security consultant. Air quality researcher addressing impacts of
                  local natural gas development using optical spectroscopy.

       1989-1994:   Part-time personal computer consultant to local high school;
                         participated in NASA fledgling effort to define a counter measures
                         program addressing potential earth-asteroid collision threats;
                         participated in a NASA project to resolve an astronomical enigma
                         involving unidentified detections by the Compton Orbiting Gamma
                         Ray Observatory; local consultant in varied subject areas including
                         small computer operations and home radon hazard assessment.           

                1969-1989:  Served as an officer in the U. S. Air Force in a wide variety of
                                 technical responsibilities.  In the early years, the author performed
                                 duties as an explosives ordinance officer in Southeast Asia and a
                                 nuclear and conventional ordinance handling safety officer back in
                                 the United States.  The middle years saw the author involved in
                                 developing the Airborne Aircraft Warning System (AWACS) for the
                                 Air Force, followed by a lengthy period as an infrared research
                                 physicist involved in field measurements of infrared emissions of in-
                                 flight aircraft as well as infrared emissions from sky and earth back-
                                 grounds.  This was followed by a period of duty as an underground
                                 nuclear test principal investigator involved in studying the vulnerabilities
                                 to radiation damage of the proposed space based laser optical mirror.
                                 The final years were served in Strategic Air Command (SAC) as an
                                 intelligence officer charged with studying high science and engineering
                                 activities of the former Soviet Union and interpreting those activities
                                 for SAC command staff and Air Force future requirements planners.
