Self-taught amateur navigator since age 13, my interest springing from reading novels about bomber navigation in WWII, which I considered to be miraculous.

I author a chapter in Auerbach’s Wilderness Medicine textbook on wilderness navigation and communication, and had the privilege of presenting several lectures on field-expedient celestial navigation at the winter 2019 Wilderness Medical Society meeting.

I have a particular interest in trying to boil celestial navigation down to its most minimalist, compact and portable form.
