BS Electrical & Electronics Engineering

Thirteen years experience designing & programming measurement & control instrumentation.

Retired in 2016 from the Tribal Utility I was working for, designing power, water, and sewer systems for the reservation, and managing the construction and maintenance of same. Spent a few years working as a gun salesman and smith, as well as doing metal machining and welding for fun and too little profit.
Last year (2023) I was asked to take on the job of creating another Tribal Utility Authority, with completion of a 840 kW solar farm backed by a 2.145 MWh battery system.
I recently bought 20 acres of land, and a tractor to help me develop it into a homesite and ranch. I was planning to raise lobsters, but having seen frozen rabbits on Amazon selling for $49 each, I may have to replan.

Programming experience using assembly, FORTRAN, BASIC, HP JCL, Prolog, Ada, Pascal, hpl, ; currently learning VC# and having "fun" with ASP.Net.

Avid darts player, though not a good one... Fair to excellent 12-string guitar player, depending on who you ask. Spare time spent fishing, reading, and playing with the neighbor's cat (see picture). Second degree black belts in Hapkido and Taekwondo.

Past President of the local Kiwanis Club, past Director of the United Way, and no longer a member of either.

Have held licenses as a Real Estate broker and Securities dealer - once ordained as a minister on a whim. My latest certificate was earned without any hands on experience at all - Yamaha Certified 5-Star Technician for motorcycles, ATVs, and watercraft. What next?

Raised in sunny California, before it became the Peoples' Republic of California. Relocated to Arizona to escape being homeless after peace broke out.


Objective: To learn all there is to know. I know I'll be disappointed one day, but I've made a good start, and the eventual disappointment is likely to be brief.

"But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!"
"You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done."
―Luke Skywalker and Owen Lars


Like Tosche Station on Tatooine, this is a place for desert-dwellers to waste time with their friends; even if your chores aren't done. If you pick up a power converter, so much the better.

This group is intended as a meeting place for Code Projectors in Arizona and New Mexico. I suppose that Utah and Nevada are close enough. El Paso and El Centro are pushing it, but I'd be remiss to leave you out.
