I am a native and long-time resident of the Milwaukee area.

I am an engineer/manager by profession, and was a professor of mechanical engineering for many years. I've occasionally served as a race engineer, having engineered

Mini Baja), instigator, member and chair of the SAE student design competitions committee, motorsports design judge at Formula SAE and Formula Student

, etc. I've wound down my SAE activities, but may still judge on occasion.

I founded the "Folk City" program on WMSE radio in 1984, and hosted it through 1992. I also did our talk show "Milwaukee Talking" in 1985-86.

I have chronicled the history of Wisconsin's TV horror hosts for articles in Scary Monsters magazine, as well as on my website: Milwaukee TV Horror Hosts.

My sidepage: A Brief History of Milwaukee Television: The Analog Years has become the online source for Milwaukee television history, and editors here have used it for information on the early history of the city's stations.

My book: Milwaukee Television History: The Analog Years was published by the Marquette University Press in December of 2008. It received the Milwaukee County Historical Society's Gambrinus Prize for the best book-length contribution to Milwaukee historiography published in 2008.

I don't edit here much, but occasionally get involved in some areas -- particularly Milwaukee broadcasting history.
