About Me

Respected scientist, noted author and popular television personality, Dr. Donald B. MacGowan originally pursued a career in academics, earning two B.Sc. degrees, a dual M.Sc., and a PhD.; as a professor and research scientist, he co-authored over 5.2 million dollars in grants and published more than 200 refereed journal articles, abstracts, etc. Fleeing the academic rat race with his hair on fire, he sought sanity in more enlightening endeavors. Donnie is an accomplished, prolific alpinist, having climbed on 5 of the seven continents, putting up more than 150 first ascents on rock, ice and snow, and a dozen first ski descents. An award-wining independent film-maker, he has written, directed and produced short and feature length films on health, travel, mountaineering and life in a touring rock band. Donnie records and tours relentlessly with his Celtic Punk fusion band "Fatal Loins"--although nobody much seems to care for their music. A Hawaii resident since 2000, he quietly and humbly inhabits Kailua Kona, doing environmental good works, surfing the be-jeezis out of the local waves and frenetically producing somewhat bizarre and mildly disturbing programs for local television which have recently been lauded as: "Ignorant", "Arrogant" and "Totally Insane". You may say what you wish about him, Donnie does not care. For somewhere underneath those swaying palm trees, in those warm aloha breezes, he is far too busy praying for good surf to hear you...

My Philosophy

Oh, no--I'm not falling into this trap...the minute I tell you how I think the universe works you are going to insist I need to be on stronger medication, and maybe even under the direct care of a physician...oh, no, no, no...I'm not doing that...

    WInner of the most postmodern and ironic "my philosophy" entry. Bravo! and LOL (my kids make me write that instead of "Ha-ha" with a smiley face). Reply...
