Welcome to my home page, a resource for documenting my passion and work - primarily in the realms of music, radio-electronics and archaeology/history.

By day i am an electromagnetic interference technician. I am also President of the Binghamton Amateur Radio Association and an active radio/electronics hobbyist. My ham radio page, KC2KLC, contains information about my radio setup, and links to electronics and radio resources.

By night i am a professional musician. I currently play in three bands: Musica Universalis, an early music consort, The Mitzfits, a small klezmer band, and the larger Cornell University Klezmer Ensemble. My music page contains samples of my music. I am also author of the authoritative online Guide to Classical Indian/Jazz Fusion.

You can read a bit more about myself, view my online photo albums, visit my perpetual garage sale, see the latest projects i've been working on, or consult my master list of lists. Links to my online texts and the home pages of friends/relatives/acquaintances are to the right.
