B.S. in Computer Science, University of Florida; graduate work at George Washington University in Computer Science. Member of ACM. Manager, Software Architecture at IBM FSD Manassas, Virginia. Drafted Washington Apple Pi's Constitution and By-Laws, adapting it from the Apple Puget Sound Program Library Exchange's version (published in February 1979 Call-A.P.P.L.E.). His covering note proposed the name "Washington's Apple Pi" "to be kinder to typists and computer character sets" — the origin of the "Pi" name.

Elected 2nd President of Washington Apple Pi in May 1979. Author of many of the most technical articles of 1979, including on floating point, SWEET 16, machine-language interfaces, programming style. Wrote his own assembler and SWEET 16 disassembler. Recused himself from the secret ballot to choose a Pi+NOVAPPLE representative for the Apple-sponsored SF summit on conflict-of-interest grounds.
