I previously graduated with high honors from an associate's degree program at Washtenaw Community College in criminal justice (2007).  I also hold an associate's in liberal arts from Lansing Community College (1981).

 My hobbies are aviation and numismatics.  I write the monthly "Internet Connections" column for the ANA Numismatist magazine. The ANA granted me two Heath Literary Awards: the first for an investigation into the origins of coinage; and another for a biography of Sir Isaac Newton's tenure as warden and master of the Royal Mint.   I am working toward a private pilot certificate and my essays are archived on www.studentpilot.com.  Reseaching hackers in the mid-80s to mid-90s, I posted to Computer Underground Digest and Phrack. Other features appeared in local and regional business magazines.

Sometimes interested in politics, I was elected a precinct delegate under the Republican logo.  Appointed by our heavily Democratic county commissioners, I served for three years on our county/city community corrections advisory board.  In 1992, I ran for Congress as a Libertarian.
