I’m a particle physicist by training, but have a number of interests outside that field. I seem to fall naturally into connecting seemingly unconnected areas. There’s some consulting with people on technology as well as sports, transportation infrastructure modeling, environmental issues, and astrophysics. My biologist wife and I live in NJ with our ferrets. I'm very lucky to have remarkable friends.
Mr Gross was my high school German teacher. He was big on learning language through song and would regularly point out a German word or phrase that might be more appropriate than American English. I wasn't a good student of the language, but he made an impact on me. I still remember and use some of his offerings. Today I saw one of my favorites used in the New York Times - the first time I've seen it used in America.
