Lifelong tinkerer currently working in the semiconductor industry repairing chip making equipment. But, my background has been a wild ride through many industries whether sailing the world in the Navy, repairing high speed machinery in food production, repairing mills in a steel manufacturing facility or programming and repairing controls in a coal fired power plant. I’ve even hauled steel around the country in a Freightliner to get through an economic downturn and still carry a yellow card for IBEW to support the industry in ways I couldn’t on my own.

My hobbies have naturally taken me in this direction where I’m now learning to program hardware. With just enough history with Python and C++ to be dangerous I think it’s wonderful to move from a monitor to my hands. I feel challenged again and I’m looking forward to creating real tangible objects and enhancements for my everyday life.
