Biographical sketch
I was born in Maine one week after Richard M. Nixon's "Checkers" speech. Currently I live and work in northern San Diego County, California.
Since September, 1994, I have been teaching courses in history of science, environmental history, United States history, geographic information systems, and honors at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). I also teach history of science at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) from time to time.
I've taught at Bowdoin College (no abbreviation, just: Bowdoin College) in Brunswick, Maine, and at the University of California, Davis (UCD).
While I continue to teach college courses - through at least 2007 - my vocation has shifted to writing essays, newspaper and magazine articles, and books. This brings me full circle to who I was before my academic career began: a writer. My work appeared in the Boston Globe (Sci-Tech section), Maine Times, the (Portland) Maine Sunday Telegram ("Audience"), the Maine Audubon Quarterly, Coping (the monthly publication of the Maine Association of Handicapped Persons), and other publications.
That first career in writing unfolded without benefit of a baccalaureate degree. I resumed progress toward such a degree in 1985 and, in an act of unreflective overcompensation, continued on through to the Ph.D. Any curiosity about my bona fides can be satisfied by looking over my plain-vanilla CV.
