I was interviewed April 7th, 2011. I was Noble Grand in 2018. I teach Aikido at the lodge. I grew-up in Michigan and graduated from the University of Michigan with a graduate degree. I worked at NASA-Ames, IBM, ALZA, GE-Nuclear and taught at SJSU, Santa Clara University and Mission College. I was trained as a chemist and still enjoy learning. Neuroscience fascinates me because it can show how we are persuaded to believe what we do.
