CSA STAFF

CSAMA is pleased to count a number of scientists and technologists among us.  Some have earned advanced degrees in science and/or technology.  Some are teachers.  Others are engineers or technicians. All of us are intensely interested in one or more aspects of science or technology and are anxious to share our special insights with those who want to know the truth about the science of origins. What follows is a brief background description of some of our staff. Kevin W. Anderson - Kevin served in the electronics/electro-mechanics field for 6 years as a U.S. Navy enlistee.  He later obtained an associate’s degree in electronics and computer technology from DeVry Institute.  He has been working in the field of electronics for over 25 years. Growing up in rural Kansas, Kevin studied geology through his association with the 4-H Clubs. Seeing a creation science presentation as an adult rekindled his passion for geology and sparked in him a new interest in creation science.  Along with his ongoing personal study of the subject, he now shares his passion with others. He is currently examining geo-catastrophism and the character of natural information systems. His years of work in electronics continues to verify in his mind the notion that programs and the mechanisms that run them never benefit from random errors, and that such random errors cannot possibly account for the massive amount of information known to be stored in DNA.  Kevin, his wife Paula, and their son Nate attend Hope Lutheran Church in Shawnee, Kansas. Kenneth (Ken) Carlson - Ken holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois. He is a fuels consulting engineer, specializing in electric power utilities, particularly coal fired facilities. He is known worldwide for his expertise in energy applications and economics. His work has taken him into coal mines and utilities around the world. Since coal mines worldwide are exhibits of the geologic column, he has unique insights into the evidences for the Biblical account of creation. Currently Ken is a power plant and power plant fuel engineering and economics consultant and the owner of KC Energy Advisors, LLC. As such, he teaches classes on fuel and power plant management and economics. Ken is co-author of a major book on power plant engineering. His creation science specialties include the origin of coal, the Genesis flood, and Mount St. Helens as an illustration of the mechanisms leading to the formation of many parts of the geologic column and other striking geologic features.  Ken and his wife Susan attend Colonial Presbyterian Church in Kansas City, Missouri. Doug Roger Dexheimer - As a grammar and high school student in Chicago, Doug often participated competitively in Chicago’s school science fairs. Later, as a co-op student with the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, he gained experience in sludge and methane burning technology, and went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology.   He learned marine boiler and multiple fuel burner technology during a five-year stint at a large east coast shipbuilding firm.  Later, during nearly thirty years as a consulting engineer, he helped design control systems for coal, oil, gas, nuclear, and multi-fueled power plants, both domestically and internationally.  Doug helped start, and now assists in editing content on, the CSAMA website, serves as interim editor of the CSAMA Newsletter, and helps lead many of our CSAMA safaris. He is an amateur geologist and rock hound. In order to attain a conversant level in various fields of discipline, he has completed a number of courses in the geology and biology departments of a local community college.  In 2001, Doug took advantage of an opportunity to change his career course in pursuit of his longstanding interest in pipe organs and their restoration. He has installed restored pipe organs and upgraded instruments in a number of churches around the U.S.  Doug currently serves as the worship services organist at Overland Park First Assembly of God. . Mary Jefferson - Mary holds a B.A. in Sociology from UMKC. She has four children with her husband, Jim. With her background in sociology, Mary's special interests include philosophy and world views, and their impact on men and nations.  Mary’s particular specialty is Egyptian chronology, and she has presented a number of stimulating lectures on the synchronicity of the Hebrew and Egyptian thrones.   Mark Matthews  - Mark holds a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering and serves as an environmental compliance specialist. He and his wife homeschool their three daughters. Mark has done some fascinating original research on the implications of the "natural nuclear reactor" at a uranium mine in the Oklo region near the town of Franceville, in the Haut-Ogooué province of the Central African state of Gabon. He has also done some fascinating research on the true age of bristlecone pines, which are claimed to be thousands of years old, and on the claims of dendrochronologists who claim they have constructed a master chronology back 8,000 years or more.  Larry Rink - Vice President of CSAMA, Larry earned his B.S. from Kansas State University. Larry and his wife Sherry homeschooled their daughter, Lindsay and son, Joshua.  Larry and Sherry attend Nall Avenue Baptist Church in Prairie Village, Kansas. Larry's hobbies include astronomy, fossil hunting, and camping. He maintains the CSAMA Creation Lending Library and has been active in creation study and teaching for many years. His creation science specialties include astronomy, early earth history, the fossil record, and the geologic column.  Larry conducts all of CSAMA’s astronomy safaris.
