Dr. Anderson received his PhD. from Georgetown University in Theoretical Chemistry working with Dr. Joseph Hashmall.  Dr. Anderson subsequently moved to Canada to work with Dr. Richard Bader and Dr. David Santry at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.  While at McMaster, Dr. Anderson rewrote major portions of a chemical package called PolyAtom to use C-style memory management in FORTRAN IV.  At the time, this software could perform calculations on large molecules that no other software package could handle.  As a result, Drs Santry and Anderson received a contract with the Canadian Centre for Inland Waters to perform studies of PCB's which at the time were discovered to be leaking from transformers into the water supply.  Dr. Anderson also wrote the first software to correctly predict the phase changes in ice.  In 1981, Dr Anderson joined Cray Research and designed all of the Cray simulator (CSIM) and was a member of the design team for SMARTE, one of the first large scale client-server remote service systems. In 1996 Dr Anderson joined Piper Jaffray where he was instrumental in the formation of the QA group and was the Y2K project manager for all non mainframe systems.  In 2000, he joined Personnel Decisions International, and in 2001 was named Director of Software Engineering. He has subsequently worked as Director of Quality Assurance for Ingenix and is currently consulting.
