Originally from Macon, Georgia, I'm the oldest of
four
children, and have two sisters and a brother. I attended Joseph
Clisby
Elementary School, then Central High School, graduating in 1979.
Then I was off to Clemson University , where I
completed
a BS degree in Electrical Engineering, in 1983. After beginning a
career,
I took classes at night to complete an MSEE degree from the University of South Florida . My
whole
career has been in the communications/electronics industry. I'm
presently
working as a systems engineer, supporting communication technology
projects.
Home
I live in Warrenton,
Virginia, a historic area west of Washington, DC. Quite a
few battles and skirmishes of the War Between the States were fought
nearby.
My Hobby
When I have a little free time, which is not
often these days, I enjoy amateur (ham) radio. I usually repair
my own equipment,
and I experiment with construction of full duplex repeaters.
Sometimes I can be reached on the Warrenton two-meter FM repeater, on
147.165 MHz (+offset).
