About Me
I've lived my entire life in Kansas. I have a variety of hobbies, mostly revolving around electronics and aviation. I've been a licensed ham since 1994, and a licensed private pilot since 2004, although I rarely fly anymore.
Mostly I keep my feet on the ground, but some of my hobbies still marry these two passions together such as High Altitude Ballooning.
Achievements
I love to challenge myself with new projects. Mostly self-taught, I've designed dozens of printed circuit boards, and written the microcontroller firmware to drive the digital circuits.
I'm also an experienced professional programmer, leveraging languages from BASIC and Visual Basic, through C# and Python and PHP. Many of my electronics projects leverage some degree of computer-level programming such as the weather balloon (APRS) tracking software.
