I entered amateur radio in late 2021 after first using GMRS for off-road communications in the Mojave Desert. I upgraded to General in early 2022 and earned Amateur Extra in 2023.
Portable operation is a major part of the hobby for me, especially Parks on the Air and Summits on the Air. My broader interests include antenna experimentation, APRS, digital modes, field communications, RF systems and integrating radio with self-hosted infrastructure.
My professional background includes years of field experience with military radio systems as a Cavalry Scout and Electromagnetic Warfare Sergeant. I have also supported radio and antenna instruction and served as a Volunteer Examiner for service members working toward amateur licenses.
