For many years, I was served as a leader in the American Society for Quality, first in Charlotte, NC and then in St. Louis and Massachusetts. Through the ASQ, I had the opportunity to speak in front of 100s of quality professionals. On occasion, I led various projects and lectured at Quality conferences.

I am a sometimes art maker. I’ve shown my work in various art galleries, both invited and uninvited. My most interesting works thoughm come from collaborations with my wife, the award-winning artist Diana Arvanites.

I started Cram as a way to bring three of my interests together: music, art, and electronics. Cram has become a great way for me to interact with musicians in my community, serving as a great way to meet new people and share my interests when I hold DIY workshops.
