I grew up in Plainview, NY (on Long Island.) I was thrilled to escape to Cornell University where I studied plant breeding, botany, entomology, and computer science. I had many part-time jobs there, working in a genetics lab (photo), the botanical greenhouses, the insect collection and the computer labs. I was a brother in Triangle Fraternity (see: Revenge Of the Nerds.) I worked 3 years for Control Data in NY City, then Minneapolis, and then took a year-long road trip around the US collecting insects and mites in 1981. I moved to Boston, worked six more years, then took a 7 month trip to Ecuador to collect more insects and mites in 1987. When I married in '88, my wife Peggy and I both changed our name to Huben (mine used to be Huybensz.) Our daughter Carol was born in '90, and our son Bob was born in '93. All three are terrific, and between them, my work, my crumbling house, and all my other activities, I scarcely have time to breathe.

I've practiced [[Aikido]] and [[Iaido]] at [http://www.neaikikai.org/ New England Aikikai] with the late [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsunari_Kanai Mitsunari Kanai] for more than twenty years. I'm sandan (3nd degree black belt) in Honbu style (USAF) Aikido and sandan (3rd degree black belt) in Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido. I haven't been active in Iaido lately. I teach children's classes and practice at New England Aikikai, and I'm also becoming active at [http://aikidotjboston.org/ Aikido Tekkojuku Boston], a new school founded by numerous instructors from New England Aikikai. I also have taught at the [http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~aikido/01HOME/HOME.htm Harvard Aikido Club] and the Tufts Aikido Club.
