As a fervent supporter of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy - Super-Insulation and Solar in particular- Steve is proud to be a Life Member of ASES... and to have presented papers at "Solar 2011" in Raleigh and at the 2012 combined ASES "Solar 2012" and the "World Renewable Energy Forum" (WREF) in Denver. Both papers dealt with the evolving conversion of Steve's 1970s home to be a NET POWER PLANT which powers itself while also powering the 2 plug in cars and the tropical food producing greenhouse... while still exporting large volumes (over 8000 KWH) of annual surplus solar energy to the grid.He says: "I fervently believe that the EXISTING Housing Stock needs to be retrofitted in the extreme. to be "net zero energy" or better (carbon negative) if we are to avoid a climate catastrophe.... with the drought, famine, and flooding which that implies. My role is to DEMONSTRATE POSSIBILITY, and potential ... and to enthuse others to join in accepting and embracing personal responsibility for strong personal action in lifestyle conversion in three areas: 1) Dwelling Energy Production/Usage, 2) Transportation Energy Usage, 3) Food Production. All of these integrated into the residential environment... with the homestead optimized as a energy/food production platform, and also powering personal transportation."

As a member of the Society, Steve took on various Volunteer assignments: Plan Solar Home Tours, Provide Conference Talks, Volunteer at "Green" Trade Shows, Share his Home Conversions on Solar Home Tours,Experiment in Improving the Built Environment - with the Retrofit of homes to Net Zero - AND WELL BEYOND. In 2010 Steve was honored with the CRES "Volunteer of the Year" award.

My Project since retiring from a 35 year career at AT&T Bell Labs has been to develop a Carbon Negative Museum/ Gallery/ Library of Victorian Cycling History.With this project, I am experimenting on the edges of possibility for Energy Efficiency in the Museum Structure and Usage, as well as Studying and Educating on all sides of the Sustainability issue... Transportation, Housing, & Public Buildings. On the transportation side, I focus upon the personal vehicles of the 19th and 21st centuries (Bicycles and Plug In Electric Cars). On the Housing side, I have succeeded in taking the 30 year old home and reducing it from a year 2002 Energy Diet of 60,500 BTUs / Sq Ft annually to a 2010 figure of NEGATIVE 26,669 BTUs / Sq Ft / Year (Source Energy). I provide educational tours of the Sustainable Museum of Sustainable Transportation, as well as lectures on several topicsincluding the following titles: 1) A House Tour ... to Zero and Beyond 2) Inheritance ... what to leave to your Grandchildren. 3) Colorful Colorado Cycling ... the early years. 4) Colorful Colorado Cycling for Women. 5) Victorian Cycling Poetry ... and it's 16 sub genres ...with poetry readings.I can prepare presentations on any of thousands of other areas in the sustainability and bicycle history genres.

During his tenure as State Captain of the Colorado Chapter of "The Wheelmmen", Steve organized events for the chapter as well as chairing the committee of Colorado Wheelmen who set up the 2002 National Wheelmen Meet in Golden, Colorado. This national meet was furthest West of all meets - and was planned to be longer than historic meets to make the travel for the (Primarily Eastern Members) be worth while. Key new activities introduced at the Golden Meet: Tour of a bicycle Factory, Antique Bicycle Racing on a mountaintop road owned by the Colorado State Patrol Academy, High Wheel "Stack" - setting a Guinness World Record, Attendance from 3 continents, and 37 states.Additionally, Steve introduced a quarterly Colorado Wheelmen newsletter. In the published newsletter, there was always a historic bicycling story from Colorado's pre-1900 Colorful History. Steve introduced Victorian Cycling Poetry to the members through this newsletter as well as through the Web Page for the Bike Museum.It features the 16 sub-genres of cycling poetry which Steve has identified.

The Historic Preservation Board (a volunteer citizen board) has several responsibilities. I took the lead in 2 areas: 1) Creating Historic Signage (46 public informational/instructive signs) in the City Center at the crossing of Washington Avenue and Clear Creek. 2) Trying to save historic barns at the Lookout Mountain School for Boys. Other duties are hearing designation requests and considering requests for changes on designated structures in Golden's Historic Districts.

Joining AT&T Bell Labs in 1966 I was a Programmer in assembly language then Systems Analyst for 9 years. I then accepted a 3 year loan assignment to the Bell System Center for Technical Education (BSCTE). At BSCTE I was involved in the Design and Delivery of training to Bell System Operations Managers on the new stored program control #1A ESS ... Telephone Switch.I returned to Bell Labs as a Supervisor for the Design and Delivery of a totally new Training for new hire graduate engineers at the labs. After supervising 16 staff in the Curriculum Development and successfully launching the New Hire Training program, I shifted into our international division and moved into Supervision of the In-Country Support team for our newly sold 1A ESS to Korea Telecom (KT) in Seoul. I worked for over one year in Seoul getting our Telecom Infrastructure smoothly integrated into the KT network.Upon my return to the USA in 1983 I took responsibility for the groupof Support Engineers as we launched a 1A ESS network in Egypt for ARENTO. My next assignment was the Supervision of 22 design engineers on the administrative program development for the # 5 Electronic Switching System (5ESS).

Continuing at AT&T Bell Telephone Laboratories, I moved in 1988 from the Switching Systems Division to the new Wireless (Cellular Phone) division responsible for taking our USA based system and specifying the necessary design changes for potential international application.I also was responsible for Executive Technical Presentations in support of the Sales Team and for Tender Responses. In this role I succeeded in opening the international cellular phone infrastructure market for AT&T first with a sale in Korea. For the next 9 years I interfaced the Korea Mobile Telecom Corporation executives on 2 week trips to Seoul each month to guide the Network Evolution and specify the design modifications for development which were needed to meet the customer feature and growth needs. This marketyielded $ 2,000,000,000 in sales for AT&T Bell Labs. After the initial success in getting our AT&T wireless product into Korea (our first international market), I laced trips to other potential wireless markets into the 2 weeks I was not in Korea. On these trips I made initial contacts with Cellular Phone Service Providers in The Philippines, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Brazil, Panama, China, Japan, Ghana, Mexico, and others. Several of these led to major sales of network infrastructure.
