Can anyone tell me anything about David Post?

Question

I'm listening to his String Quartet No. 2 from the Naxos Music Library. I'm sure the booklet would tell me something if I bought the CD, but at this point I'm not convinced I even want to do that. I turned to Oxford Music Online, and it turned up no relevant results. At this point I was thinking Wikipedia might have something, figuring perhaps a bit of unreliable info would be better than nothing, but it has nothing.
