To Anyone Viewing This Page:I am currently actively in the job market, seeking work in the radio field engineering/systems integration/GIS/AVL/mobile data areas. I am single and open to relocating from the southern California area where I currently live in Pasadena. |
B.S. Electronic Engineering (1977), Lake Superior State University, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
I am a Radio Telecomm Systems Engineer with over twenty years experience in HF/VHF/UHF mobile radio systems design, integration and performance/acceptance testing (see attached resume). My experience ranges from high-power AM-FM-TV broadcast systems through HF and VHF/UHF land mobile voice and data systems to PC setup, configuration and low-power 802.11 wireless LAN devices.
During my years with the County of Los Angeles, I developed a GPS-based measuring/mapping system used to conduct numerous radio coverage surveys for the Sheriff and County Fire Departments. This system combined several radio transceivers, an IFR-1500 communications monitor, GPS receiver, personally-developed interface hardware and software, and MapInfo GIS software. More recently, I setup and demonstrated a prototype GPS-based AVL system for the LASD.
