Electronics Get The Blood Flowing At Rock Shows And In Hospital Beds
I was constantly inventing things as a child, especially electronic things.

I've been doing design work for nearly thirty years, and I still enjoy the fresh challenges that every new day brings. I do analog circuit design and digital design (as it relates to putting micros into things), and I write software—not a...
