I have taught physics as an adjunct faculty member at Prince George's Community College since 1991.

During the day, I work a research physicist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, doing research in space physics (the physics of the electromagnetic and plasma environments of the Earth, Sun, planets, and interplanetary space). I previously worked on flight software for the on-board computer of the Hubble Space Telescope.

In my spare time I am a runner, bicyclist, amateur radio operator, sing in my church choir, and am fluent in the international language Esperanto. I also study Latin and Ancient Greek in preparation for working on a future degree in classical studies.

I am a member of the following professional societies:
