Since then, I've worked for a number of health technology companies as a business analyst, usually helping to bridge the communications gap between programming staff and end users with clear documentation and presentations. I was also a theater nerd in high school and college, and (with my wife) developed and co-taught an elementary/middle school theater program for our neighborhood school. I've been a private tutor in mathematics for a number of years, working with local families on a handful of subjects, mostly pre-calculus and calculus. My favorite part of tutoring is helping my students to see that one little insight that can unlock the whole of the subject or lesson, and helping them pick the right tool or method to get a good answer.

I love working puzzles and brainteasers--my family gets a kick out of handing me a messed up Rubik's Cube because they KNOW I'll have to solve it. I also enjoy getting out on my bicycle or snowshoes (depending on the weather), watching science fiction TV shows, and playing music--I sing in my church choir and love playing the piano.
