I worked for 8 years as a cash register repair / installation technician.  Installed and repaired grocery store scanning systems.

Now work as a Programmer/Analyst for a primary aluminum plant.  Take care of 3 Oracle database instances and administer the process control data collection and reporting system. 

But above all of that I am my three daughter's daddy.  It is for my youngest 7 year old that I got started in the blinky stuff this year.

when I grow up, I want to claw my way to middle management.......just kidding

#1 job is being a good father and husband.

Was EIC for MLB Ball Park, still freelance national sports TV gigs.

Went to fall back career as Master Electrician, Electrical Inspector. I maintain this thing (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login)
All shipboard control systems, entertainment, power generation and distribution.

 Was doing Technical Productions/ Broadcast for regional MMA fights till that went mainstream ( my production truck wasnt 2k-HD-SD w/256ch MADI....but who's being picky?))

Also Electrician at 2nd largest print company in North America ( PLC's, Hardware, guidance and control systems)

So this is a natural fit here at DLA, hands dirty, burnt from soldering, but lots of blinky flashy with the pride of homebuilt!
I know nothing......and I prove it DAILY!!!

Getting crazy ideas and breaking stuff since 1977

Master Electrician/ Electrical Inspector/ Evil Genius (apprentice)

I see a trend here. Lots of men who are still kids inside. 8) I have been in public service for about 30 years...10 USN as a SONAR tech (operator and repair) and the last 20 or so as a police officer. My grown children think I am crazy (along with my wife and neighbors) for putting up my light show. I find my light show and my mustang restoration attempts are battling for my time and money....
