Editor, Exotic Zoology newsletter (1994-1999)
Author of many articles and professional papers (see below)

I regularly publish professional papers and articles on space policy and
technology. I have one book on space history due out, co-authored with
satellite engineer Erika Lishock. The NASA History Office will sponsor
publication of The First Space Race: Launching the World's First Satellite, a
book on the "satellite race" between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. in the late
1950s. (Our article on the same topic was published in August 2000 in the
spaceflight history magazine Quest.) The First Space Race will be published
by Texas A&M University Press in Spring 2004.

Finally, I have been a freelance contributor to the NATURE Yearbook of
Science and Technology, the Gale Research Co. reference book Notable
20th-Century Scientists, and Grzimek's Animal Encyclopedia.

I have degrees in public administration and space systems management, having attended the University of Southern California, Webster University, and the University of North Dakota. I served 12 years as an Air Force officer before moving in 1994 to Colorado, where I spent seven years with the nonprofit research firm ANSER before moving to Booz Allen in 2001. I am married with two daughters.
