bio
I grew up in the shadow of Wheaton College, a Christian liberal arts college "out on the prairie"- or what had been prairie...

And there were books, of course. Our house was heavy with books, a weird assemblage of books...

Grampie was a mighty influence! Smelling of tobacco smoke and a by-gone era, he led my brother and I "down on the flat," as locals called the flood plain of the Susquehanna, outside Oneonta, in upstate NewYork.

Twenty five years of my working life were spent at Virginia Tech...

My service as Virginia Tech Recycling Coordinator ended on July 9, 2009...That very day, I hiked up to Dragon’s Tooth, and felt wonderfully restored. The shock of loss, and experience of grieving, has been balanced by the sensation of fresh opportunity.

I am am member of the National Sculpture Society and frequently work with Carolina Bronze Sculpture. [View more links]
