I earned a BE degree in Mechanical Engineering from City College of New York. I then attended Clemson University where I earned an MS degree and a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering. For 33 years, I was employed by Cummins, Inc. where I used my expertise in Thermal Science and Computational Fluid Dynamics to solve problems related to internal combustion engine development. I retired in 2019 and have been focusing on matters of religion and ethics, for which I have had a lifelong passion. This has led to my first published book called "Grace and Truth" which examines the biblical narrative and draws conclusions from it about what should really matter to Christians.
