About me

Introduction I was employed by the Federal Highway Administration from the mid 70s to 2008. I did work in many subject areas over this time but am probably known most for managing one of the big discretionary programs, for creating Interstate designation content and for research and management in the area of highway economic development. I did other things over the years: e.g., taught people in the FHWA how to play the card game called "schafskoft", raised a family, served in the US Navy reserves, served on the board of various civic and religious organizations. My daughter lives in Israel and the rest of the family have visited there many times.
Interests I probably think too much. Also I probably write done too much of what I think.
Favorite Movies Blues Brothers, Office Space, Star Wars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Favorite Music I asked for the soundtrack to "The Breakfast Club" to be played at my retirement party. However, I can't really make up my mind about what music I like best.
Favorite Books Durant's History of Civilization Series. Russell's History of Western Philosophy.

How many psychics does it take to solve a crime? One. But only with a confession.
