Married for 43 years, three children, seven grand children
Currently,
Partner, Research Manager, Trading Desk Strategies, LLC, Seattle, WA
Since 2004 we’ve been developing automated trading systems for hedge funds. During this time we’ve extended Design of Experiments method to testing trading systems.
1990 to 2004
Director of Applications Development, Aptech Systems, Inc, Black Diamond, WA
Aptech Systems markets a math and scientific programming language called GAUSS. I managed the development of all applications written in GAUSS that were marketed with the language. This included CMLMT, a nonlinear sequential quadratic programming method for fitting econometric models by maximum likelihood in use at economics departments and financial institutions around the world.
Among them are applications for estimating time series models, GARCH models, sets of nonlinear equations, discrete choice models, among others.
1980-1989
Research Consultant, Laboratory for Socio-environmental Studies, NIH, Bethesda, MD
I wrote and maintained the primary software for the laboratory’s research. Their research was a panel study of a national sample of individuals; the required software applied a nonlinear optimization method to the maximum likelihood estimation of a complex multiple indicator model.
1975-1979
Assistant Professor, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ
I taught courses in statistical methods and criminology.
1969-1794
Student, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
My studies there led to my receiving B.S, M.S., and Ph.D. degrees.
1963-1968
Navigator, United States Air Force
I was a navigator on missions all over the world. I Received the Vietnam Medal with two oak leaf clusters.
