After receiving his Bachelor of Architecture Cum Laude from the University of Southern California, Alan worked for a number of private architectural firms in the Los Angeles area before moving to Washington, DC, to serve as a hospital architect for the U.S. Public Health Service. He went on to get his Masters Degree in Architecture at UC Berkeley before settling permanently in Pennsylvania to pursue a career in building product research with Armstrong World Industries.
Alan joined Armstrong in 1969 where he was initially involved with new product development for modular housing, passive solar energy, and furniture systems. In the mid-1970’s, he began concentrating on new approaches to integrated ceilings. He was deeply involved in responding to the Federal Government’s “Peachbook” performance specification approach for office buildings and continued a similar private sector effort as Chairman of the Integrated Ceiling Subsystem Task Group for the Construction Research Council in Washington.
More recently, as Manager of Technical Information for Armstrong Floor Products, Alan focused on providing assistance to specifiers, contractors, and end users; new product testing and refinement; training salespeople; and writing technical literature (including computerized product specifications). He also developed an AIA-approved resilient flooring continuing education seminar program for Armstrong commercial field and distributor representatives to use with architects and interior designers.

Alan is a past member of both the American and the International Solar Energy Societies, was a representative for Armstrong to ASTM, and is currently a member of the Construction Specifications Institute, the Society of Architectural Historians, Tau Sigma Delta Honor Society in Architecture and Allied Arts, and an associate member of the American Institute of Architects. He has spoken to a variety of audiences over the years and taught in a number of classroom environments. He was invited to speak to large audiences of hospital architects at two health care symposiums in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and authored a paper about flooring in health care facilities that was translated into Chinese for a conference in Shanghai.

Now retired from Armstrong, Alan is devoting more effort to his long-time passion for research in post-quantum physics and metaphysical studies with groups based in New York City, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. His interests take him to many parts of the world as he pursues subjects such as alternative energy sources, sacred geometry, archaeology, and investigative mythology. He is a strong advocate for moving away from a fossil fuel-based economy.

I began studying the collapses of the Towers a couple of years after the event. The more I researched, the more I became convinced they did not fall from the impact and subsequent fires of airplanes. The evidence is overwhelming.
