About me

I enjoy playing golf, fishing, reading and working on my car. My

current interest have been developing microprocessor systems with

a focus on using embedded devices to mediate the interface

between computers and peripheral devices using a multitude of

communications protocols. I enjoy problem solving and am a

curious and resourceful individual by nature.
