John Silzel holds four patents and leads two lives. By day he is a professor at Biola University, having earned a PhD by analyzing the air on remote Pacific islands.

Once an honest classical violinist with his own tuxedo, Dr. Silzel now plays rock and jazz with electric guitarists and other unsavory types. His mother is dismayed.
