The Captains Lab

24 years with General Electric. Helped assemble the first CAT scanner for GE in 1975. Invited by the FDA in 1995 to speak about electronic communications to 900 visitors. Invited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 1996 to speak about testing of mammography x-ray systems. 13 years teaching Physics and Math in High Schools in New York and Massachusetts, and a community college in Massachusetts.

I never sat down. Most classes began with a demonstration, and I involved student volunteers in my demos. I used PowerPoint and YouTube videos in my lectures. I took students outside to fire a water balloon canon as an aid to teaching Newton's Laws. I created all my own labs and made them into interactive Excel Spreadsheets. I often pointed out ordinary phenomena, such as frost forming on a car overnight, to explain concepts in heat transfer and climate change. I included sections on Cosmology, Relativity, and Diagnostic Imaging.

Patent on a LASER device to assist in installing x-ray systems. Patent on a device to align bi-lateral x-ray systems. I was featured in the Norwich, NY Evening Sun and in the Boston Globe for my work with students in building battery-operated hovercraft that my students rode in the gym.
