I was born into the Space Age - just after the Launch of Sputnik-1

As a teenager I moved to Texas as my dad joined NASA to assist with the Apollo Moon Landing. It was an amazing place to grow up with technology all around.

I wrote my first computer program in 1971 as a High School freshman and and got an opportunity later in High School to program on NASA's Computers. After that, I went to Texas A&M University to get a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering and worked for the University writing computer programs to get some extra spending money. Most of my career since College has been in the Medical Devices industry; but, with a 12 year side-trip doing high-speed servo motion control.

I am still work as an Engineer doing with Software and Electronics and an sharing my love of Engineering with my two boys.

I try to add to the Wiki-knowledge when I can and have learned much from the Wiki-knowledge of others.
