Biography
I'm in my 30's so I am a young buck on the airwaves ... been licensed since 2008 and I currently hold a General Class License in the USA [our mid level license, I can operate on all bands with some restrictions as to where on the bands (i.e. not towards the very bottom ... so look for me in the middle or upper areas of the bands especially on 75/80, 40 and 20)]
I have a nerve disease (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) so I am home a lot. The plus side to that, is more air time!
I enjoy making web sites, playing piano, making antennas and helping people.
I currently help run 2 non profits, one for my nerve disease and another for the city I live in's youth! [both have web sites, ask me about them]
I am also an ordained Christian Minister (I'm a moderate).
