The embodiment of a Gemini, my interests lie in science and music, both taken to extremes. In music, I have written, performed, and recorded across the USA with mostly metal oriented bands from socal and WI(reverse chronological): UNSPECIAL, TOO MANY VOICES, DYSTEMIC, MY BEAUTIFUL SECRET, MAD CAMPERS, CHARLIE PORN, DIRTY PAWS, BASTARD SUN, CAPSTONE, BLEW, CYANOSIS, MORTA SKULD, RHINELANDER, SNIPER Q, SCOURGE, ARA, BLACK MEDALLION, AFTERSHOCK, MALISON, etc.
Science-wise I do basic research in organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry. My music and chemistry each have an international audience via major motion pictures, scientific journals, presentations, and performances. it's fun, I like what I do but wish there was more than one of me to accomplish all that I want to do with my life. I also love to spend time with my wife and my little guys every chance I get!
