About me

Hi. I'm a retired autoworker. I was an electrician and have been a computer hobbyist for over 30 years. I'm also a Ham Radio operator for just as long.

I live in Lockport NY and am married and have four kids, from 32 to 19.

I am a mentor for FIRST Robotics team 1507 The Warlocks.

I'm also host of the Buffalo Live! Music Podcast

My work

I was an electrician for 18 years in an industrial setting. Don't ask me to wire your house. It's not the same thing. You wouldn't ask your dentist to take out your appendix, would you? But a dentist and a surgeon are both doctors.

I'm now retired and just relaxing. I hope to be getting into shape and spending time skiing, cycling, camping and traveling a bit.
