Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
Paper Roller Coasters
Home: North Carolina, United States
I build paper roller coasters, marble tracks made from cardstock and tape. I've built roller coasters that were over 16 feet tall, completely out of paper and tape. My paper roller coaster templates are used by thousands of schools around the world.

For 24 years, I taught a mixture of science and engineering to students from pre-K through 12th grade. Now I sell my Paper Roller Coaster kits and templates through my website. My younger son, Greg, is joining me at his first Bay Area Maker Faire.

I've been building Paper Roller Coasters with students for over 20 years. It was always a highlight of the school year. Other teachers persuaded me to refine my designs and turn it into a business, which I did in 2010. My templates have now been used in thousands of schools around the world.
