About

I have been in the electronics field since 1996. My 22 year career has consisted of Navy Aircraft, special effects (including close proximity pyrotechnics), agricultural, automotive, GPS navigation, and even TV repair. Electronics have always been a passion for me for as long as I can remember. From taking apart my dad's power tools (not always putting them back together) to building my first fan (from a flashlight and a DC motor at age 5). It's ever changing nature, and vast opportunities for discovery will keep me hooked until I'm to old to pick up a soldering iron, or to blind to read an electrical print.
