About Me

By day I'm an engineer working in the aerospace industry. I spent the first 20 years of my career in defense and intelligence, and now work at NASA's Johnson Space Center. I have a B.S. in aerospace engineering, an M.S. in computer science, and an M.S. in human factors engineering.

By night I'm a sometimes blogger who mostly evangelizes about critical thinking and the need for civility in political discourse, and a sometimes software developer who puts together the odd application or two.

My Blogs

The Thinker is my primary blog, where I educate others about critical thinking and improve my own critical thinking skills in the process.

Critical Thinking Applied is a group blog that seeks to show how critical thinking can enable civil and reasoned discourse on hotbutton social and political issues.

We are looking for more bloggers to join us on Critical Thinking Applied. If you can write and are interested in furthering the cause of civility in political discourse, please contact us at ctapplied@gmail.com.

My Wiki

Thinkerpedia is a critical thinking wiki, intended to serve as an online resource for critical thinking advocates and educators while still being accessible to the average layperson. It is still in a very nascent state and could use some care and feeding. If you are knowledgable about critical thinking and are interested in contributing, please email me at admin@thinkerpedia.net.
