I am a driven Electronics Technician with 20 years of experience in the United States Navy. I specialize in communications equipment but I have experience with other systems such as navigation, fire control, CCTV, security cameras, computer networks, and landing guidance systems. I strive to maintain these systems to proper working order. It is truly important for me to produce quality results in a timely manner. I work very well in ever-changing, high stress situations. I am one who loves to learn new things. I love to learn new systems, tools, techniques and ideas. I feel that I should never stop learning. I love to be creative. Whether it’s creating a new way to accomplish the same goal or creating something from nothing. It is extremely fulfilling to take a pile of parts or materials and turn that pile into something functional. In my off time, I enjoy several hobbies. I enjoy working on cars, fishing, cooking, woodworking, blade smithing, building computers, gaming. I also know how to do residential electrical and plumbing.
