About me

I teach science education and physics courses at all levels, and there’s other stuff, too.

Staring through a trail of electrons orbiting in a magnetic field.

My page at Weber State has contact, calendar, and professional details, including my teaching and other work I do. There are more details here, and I’m happy to tell stories about any of this.

I’ve written some stuff, including this introduction for my students (which other people can read, too), and an invited series of guest editorials. Recently I’ve been logging this work where others can follow along.

I like music and I’m in a band, Standards & Substandards. I do a podcast with my son called Mouthsounds.

As a family, we find lots of things to take photos of, and I try to compile them, especially some treks in the desert and mountains. (For really good photography, you should look at Karyn’s photos.) Sometimes they just end up on an Instagram album, mostly composed of hikes and the dog and interesting science phenomena as I stumble upon them.
