By day (and most nights, too), I am an assistant professor of Computer Science at the State University of New York in Oswego. I moved here in the Fall of 2007. Prior to that, I spent some wonderful years in West Lafayette, IN where I was both a doctoral student and visiting professor at Purdue University. Go Boilermakers! I grew up in Philadelphia and also lived in Baltimore, MD for a number of years.
My primary woodworking interest is building furniture for my home, although I have built other pieces that were given to friends as gifts. I'm not a professional, although technically I did sell a bookcase I made at a yard saIe. :-)
I'm a great fan of the Arts and Crafts style and am embarking on the creation of a number of such pieces. These will be my most challenging projects to date, and I will be detailing their design and progress in forum posts.
In addition to the above, I also enjoy playing guitar, bicycling, and kayaking.
Thank you for visiting my profile and for the warm welcome to LJ!

Ok. One of the things I’ve asked myself when designing this project is, “How are stretchers linked together?” In particular, I wondered how to handle intersections of three and four stretchers. I didn’t include this in the ...

Just noticed your profile…I’m currently in Chicago but spent a couple years in the late 80’s taking CS and communications courses at SUNY Oswego. About all I remember about the school is the bitter cold winds from the lake sweeping across the campus…and the “townie” bar I spent many a night in. I gotta get back some day for another Harborfest!
Belated welcome to LJ!
