dormant for almost twenty years. He earned an AB in political theory from
Harvard, and an MBA in finance and an MFA in theatre administration, both from
Yale. He spent seven years working in the entertainment industry and the
nonprofit arts and three years writing fiction. He finally returned to computer
science in 1990 when he began taking courses at the University of Southern
Maine. He received an MS in computer science from USM in 1994 and a PhD in
