I am a luthier (builder of stringed musical instruments), poet and activist in various causes. I build premier Appalachian dulcimers, which can be viewed at my website, http://www.bearmeadow.com

In a former incarnation, I worked in software development for major corporations. My specialty was the field of Software Configuration Managment. For a brief overview of a configuration management I designed and built for Xerox, see http://www.bearmeadow.com/scm.
