I began my career over 20 years ago as an Avionics Technician working with communication, navigation, and electronic counter-measures for the U.S. Air Force.  I left the military to work as an electronics technician in industries such as commercial radio, telephone interconnect, residential and commercial security, and audio.  I have also worked as an electrician on aircraft, automobiles, and subway cars.  I have an extensive knowledge concerning environmental variables, discrete components, and troubleshooting techniques.  I also have some experience with web design, computer graphics, and digital audio/video.  I work with components based upon the engineering and manufacturing technology used to create the devices, and not the end-user perspective.

For those of you who are curious, I am involved with the following:
