I am a Professor in the Information and Computer Sciences Department at the University of Hawaii at Manoa where I teach courses in the areas of human-computer interaction, programming, data structures, and cognitive science. I conduct research on sociotechnical systems with my most recent publications in the area or social media and civic discourse.
I am also a stage and camera actor. I have appeared on stage in the Philadelphia area and in Hawaii. I grew up in Los Angeles where I was a TV and film child actor. My child acting "claim to fame" was being Marsha's date, Alan Anthony, in the "Brace Yourself" episode of The Brady Bunch. After a 40-year hiatus, I finally returned to network TV in the new Hawaii Five-0.
