Probability Playground, an interactive website for exploring probability distributions and their relationships. Over 150 proofs are also provided for distribution means, variances, and relationships.

Best Contributed Paper Award, given by the American Statistical Association Section on Statistics and Data Science Education at the JSM 2023 conference in Toronto.

Merlot Classics Award, given by the MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching) Statistics Editorial Board at the OLC Innovate 2025 conference.

The ASA Section on Statistics and Data Science Education wrote a great summary of what the website does and how it was developed.

The Health Impact magazine of the University at Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions wrote a profile covering Probability Playground (pages 22-23).

Amstat News, the monthly membership magazine of the American Statistical Association, published an article in their special issue on Data Visualization (pages 26-28).

Scientific and Mathematical Computing Using Python, a free introduction to Python, NumPy, and Matplotlib. This book was developed to support the course "MTH 337: Introduction to Scientific and Mathematical Computing" taught at the University at Buffalo.

A visual representation of the integer solutions to the equation a² + b² = c². Primitive Pythagorean triples are those solutions for which a, b, and c have no common divisor larger than 1.

A visual representation of the partitions of even numbers as the sum of two primes. This illustrates the famous "Goldbach conjecture", that every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers.

Python code for a Mandelbrot set generator using Pygame, showing both the escape times and the internal structure.

I am the bookkeeper for the Alliance Française de Buffalo and was the treasurer and a board member from 2022 to 2025. We are a cultural and educational organization that encourages and furthers the knowledge of French speaking cultures and language in the Buffalo and Western New York region.

In April 2018 and 2019, my son Eli and I organized the first ever Rubik's speedcubing competitions in Western New York. The Batavia Daily News Online did a nice interview with Eli, and covered the event on the day. WGRZ in Buffalo had some great coverage of the 2018 event, and The Batavian of the competition in 2019.

During my term as co-president of the Corfu Free Library from 2007 to 2011, the library underwent a major expansion and renovation, added a new children's wing, and moved from a paper-based to an online reservation system.

I worked for six summers as a volunteer at the Hiscock site in Byron, New York, until it closed in 2011. This site dates back to the end of the last ice age, and was the scene of many mastodon fossil discoveries.
