OTHER INTERESTS
I am an avid swimmer, a serious amateur photographer, and a frequent traveler. My photos (of an eclectic mix of subjects) can be found on my Pbase site, in the National Press Club's photo gallery (well-known subjects such as Danica Patrick, Ben Bernanke, Herman Cain, and Sesame Street's Grover), as well as on the stock photo site, Shutterstock, where you can buy and download royalty-free copies of over 500 of my images. I've also developed a technique for creating unique black and white images using a kaleidoscope and had several shows of these prints. My wife, Jill Pace, and I have organized many symposia on food and cooking at AAAS Annual Meetings and have arranged and hosted gourmet dinners for the science policy community at AAAS meetings for the past 19 years.Jill is executive director of the American College of Real Estate Lawyers as well as a quilter. Images of some of her quilts and other fabric art can be found in a gallery on my Pbase site. Finally, I am the father of three grown children: Mitch, Executive Producer of the daily radio magazine program "Lake Effect" on WUWM in Milwaukee, WI; Ken, who is with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Ohio; and Samantha, a recent graduate of New York University (cum laude), with a degree in photography and graphic design. In addition, I have four grandchildren: Cal, Maddie, Sylvi, and Charlie, whose pictures can be found in my Pbase family gallery. Finally, our dog Kona, a mini-goldendoodle (poodle-golden retriever mix), born in 2004, is an important part of our lives and probably the most photographed member of the family. He has his own gallery on Pbase.
