 My Interests

 Boating - I've spent a lot of time around pleasure boats (sail & power), and have traveled throughout most of the Caribbean and Bahamas. I enjoy anything that has to do with water, i.e., boating, diving, skiing, etc....

 Amateur Radio - My callsign is KC5FZW, and most of my operating is done on 2 meters. There are some really good 440 repeaters in Houston, so I spend some time there as well. Repeaters are convenient and fun, but I also enjoy trying for DX on a good day (or night)!

 

  My Family

 Both of my parents are from North Carolina. My father's work in the aerospace industry took him and my mom to California, which is where I was born in '63. Shortly thereafter, we moved to Clear Lake City (near Houston), to be close to the Johnson Space Center - NASA. I have two younger brothers, Kevin and Brian, and they are both terrific! I'm divorced, and have a beautiful daughter, Margareth ("Maggie").

 

  Myself

 I attended public schools growing up. Afterwards, I tried my hand at college, but wasn't quite serious enough, so I joined the Army in '85. I served for three years, with tours in Europe and here in the US. I also spent several years in the Army Reserve, where I had the opportunity to travel to other interesting places while on active duty. I later continued my college education. My personal interests have carried over into my career choices. In the late '80s to early '90s, I had a small business that specialized in cellular phones and other communications equipment. I did very well with that. My most recent endeavor (since '93), has been building and selling personal computers, which is definitely challenging and very interesting... to say the least.
