MY BACKGROUND

37 years of hands-on experience in acoustical testing, design & engineering.

user-card
My scientific career began at NASA Ames Research in 1968, where I contributed to iconic programs like Apollo, Voyager, and Cassini. I even had my own experiments aboard those spacecrafts, many of which continued transmitting data back to Earth decades later.
My academic foundation was just as intense. I completed a NASA-sponsored science and engineering program at Stanford University, attending 12-hour sessions, seven days a week, taught by Stanford professors. The result? The equivalent of degrees in both Physics and Electronics Engineering, before most people had even heard of the moon landing.
Since then, I have led groundbreaking acoustic projects around the world and earned recognition as an expert in testing standards, room design, and soundproofing solutions.
HOW CAN I HELP

Consulting Services

I offer tailored consulting based on a rare blend of scientific depth and decades of real-world experience. My expertise includes:
sound
Acoustic Design & Modification
I help clients shape spaces for clearer speech, richer music, and optimal acoustic performance.
layers
Noise Treatment & Elimination
From building materials to product prototypes, I provide solutions for isolating and eliminating unwanted noise.
iso
Acoustic Testing Standards
As an authority on ASTM, ISO, and AES standards, I chair committees, revise protocols, and develop new methods for precise measurement.
solution
Problem Solving & Research
I am known for tackling persistent industry issues, like the overlooked “edge effect”, and for crafting solutions that challenge conventional wisdom.
software-testing
Professional & Ethical Support
As a contributor to the EASE software platform, I help clients “hear” their designs before construction ever begins.
help
Help Every Step of The Way
I clear up common myths such as the widespread misunderstanding of absorption coefficients & provide insights rooted in decades of research.
