Dr. Balke received his Ph.D. in high-energy particle physics from U.C. Berkeley in 1987. He has worked in the fields of physics, environmental science and software development for machine control and business systems. However, the overarching intellectual concern of his life has been understanding love as a philosophical, practical and spiritual principle.
Dr. Balke has two amazing sons, Kevin and Gregory, and hopes that his work will provide support to their generation as they struggle with the problems they have received from the past.
