Astronomy

Regarding activities, I like water skiing, boating, cross-country skiing, hiking, swimming, camping, geocaching, traveling, and taking "century trips" on my bicycle.  Additionally, I love gardening, wine-making and wine tasting, cooking (particularly for someone special in my life), working on my genealogy, remodeling the house (I'm done really, but is "it" ever really done? Homeowners, you know what I mean!), telescope making (Yes, I am an ATM ... a dying breed! (see Stellafane), and going to garage sales and antique shops. Finally, sometimes I just enjoy staying at home relaxing / crashing with my 9-year old Bedlington Terrier named Belle. She is such a sweetie and a great companion!

In closing, I am a person who loves my job! I love teaching and research. I am ecstatic when I see students catch the fever in their pursuit to understand and discover the workings of human nature. But I’m not just an Experimental Cognitive Psychologist. That was a goal achieved late in the timeline of my life. I'm also a cabinet maker and a finish carpenter (I used to build custom homes and I was once the foreman for a nationally recognized award-winning custom home builder in Hickory, North Carolina). In addition, I am a machinist and a wood-turner. Hey, I can make and build just about anything!
