I have been teaching Computer Science and Information
Systems courses for the
University System of Georgia for the past eight years. I have
been a radio D.J., a Database Administrator, and a
Translator at various points in my previous working life.
I'm an active member of the IEEE Computer Society, the
ACM, and SIGGRAPH, the ACM's Special Interest Group for
Graphics. I am also an active member and the Webmaster for
the Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics (see some of
my work at http://www.gctm.org
).
I enjoy creating 3D animations, programming, investing,
foreign languages (5 so far), reading, boating and the outdoors. To see a short example of my 3D animation work, please

I have a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Georgia State University,
an M.Ed. and a B.S. in Mathematics from North Georgia
College & State University. You can see some of my
recent publications and presentations on my vita below, or
on my Research page.
For the past nine years, I have traveled annually to
South America on 1-2 week mission trips, as well as to
numerous other countries and islands for pleasure. I've also
served on doctoral dissertation committees at two
universities in Spain, as well as giving invited lectures
both in the U.S. and Europe on GPU programming and more.
I
just recently got married on December 16, 2006, to my lovely
wife Beverly, and we spent a great two weeks in the Hawaiian
islands for a perfect honeymoon. Click here for our
