If you want something to take away, you can download my resume and my publications. Or see what you can find at Google, particularly Google Scholar.
I grew up outside of Philadelphia at the end of the Main Line, and went to MIT to be a linguist. In the process I discovered the MIT AI Lab, and stayed there for graduate school.
In 1980 I went to UMass Amherst as part of the faculty in the Computer and Information Science Department (COINS), where I shepherded seven students through to their Ph.Ds and consulted for Allan Kay at the Atari Research Lab.
Eventually I moved on to a startup I'd help put together, and then spent much of the 1990s as an independent contractor as well as teaching and collaborating at Brandeis.
When my twins arrived, I realized I needed steady work so I took a job as a Lisp programmer at Gensym. After that came MERL and then Zoesis. Now I'm at BBN and having a grand time.
