About

Seven Oaks Consulting is the umbrella for all of my projects!

It began in  2000, when I began creating and maintaining web sites for science education groups and others that needed simple, affordable web sites under the name Seven Oaks Web Development.  I recognized the need of such organizations for a high service, low cost web site.

Along the way I have built on my background as a physics teacher and worked as outreach coordinator for The Science House at NC State University.  I have developed curriculum for The Science House, Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute, David Gordon Louis Daniel Foundation’s Science Explorers and several collections of science experiments published by Lark Books.  Most recently I have just finished a new book, 365 Build it Yourself Engineering Projects coming out August 2020.

Why Seven Oaks?

My maiden name, Snoke, is a contraction of seven oaks.  My family origin’s can be traced back to the estate of Seven Oaks in England and William Sevenoke, a Lord Mayor of London, named after the place where he was found abandoned as an infant.
