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:
Acoustic Design
& Modification
I help clients shape spaces for clearer speech, richer music, and optimal acoustic performance.
Noise Treatment
& Elimination
From building materials to product prototypes, I provide solutions for isolating and eliminating
unwanted noise.
Acoustic Testing Standards
As an authority on ASTM, ISO, and AES standards, I chair committees, revise protocols, and develop new
methods for precise measurement.
Problem Solving
& Research
I am known for tackling persistent industry issues, like the overlooked “edge effect”, and for crafting
solutions that challenge conventional wisdom.
Professional & Ethical Support
As a contributor to the EASE
software platform, I help clients “hear” their designs before construction ever begins.
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.
