Most of my publications
have been in geometric function
theory, which is part of complex analysis. I also have an
interest
in mathematically gifted children and have helped design and teach
in ATYP, a local program for academically talented middle school
children.
When I'm not involved in mathematics, I enjoy reading, playing golf,
and visiting our children and grandchildren. I also enjoy being
part of the chancel choir and handbell choir at Second Reformed Church.
