Welcome to my web page!

I am an electrical engineer and a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas. After getting out of the U.S. Navy, I went back to South Dakota School of Mines and Technology on the GI Bill, and graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (BS/EE). After graduation, I moved to Texas to work for Texas Instruments (TI) in their defense division, and was still working for them when TI sold us to Raytheon in 1997. After a little over two years with Raytheon, they chose to close our Lewisville, TX plant, where I'd worked almost exclusively since 1980, and moved all the programs to their Tucson, AZ plant. Because Tucson was not an option that I was interested in, I chose to leave Raytheon/TI after 19-1/2 years combined, and went to work as a test staff engineer for SpectraPoint Wireless LLC in Richardson, TX. Unfortunately, SpectraPoint went out of business when I'd only been there about eight months. From there I went to Motorola as a senior test engineer in their cellular base station factory in Fort Worth, Texas, but was laid off on 1 November 2002. After 11-1/2 months out of work, I went to work for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth, TX, and am now a systems engineer on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

I have several hobbies and interests. Including:
