Who am I?

I am a physicist and software developer in the aerospace industry for over 20 years, and have valid credentials as a rocket scientist. Although my master's degree was in Theoretical Physics at Stanford, I have primarily worked as a programmer analyst and software developer. A while back, I started a small survey research company, and instructed at a community college. After returning to the aerospace industry, my wife and I started Nature Edventures.

During my teaching and business careers, I discovered that there are still new ways to explain fundamental concepts in physics and statistics. My online interactive demonstrations of Bernoulli's Principle, radioactive decay, and confidence intervals are the results of these discoveries.

Challenge to all educators! If I can make better educational tools, so can others. Feel free to copy my java code ( HalfLife, Jostling and Bernoulli Principle) and make better versions, or invent your own.
