I design, build, repair automated production machinery and test equipment. Work with all types of high tech electronic as well as industrial electrical circuits, computer and PLC installation and programming, fluid power, and precise mechanical assemblies.
Started playing guitar in 1995 and played seriously for two years. Focused mainly on popular rock, alternative, and grunge. Played rhythm in one cover/bar band for 9 months, then lead in another cover band for a few months; never really went anywhere. Played less and less while in school for electromechanical technology, but still picked it up regularly. Taught several other people to play and jammed with friends every now and then.
Once out of school, moved to a different city and started career. Traveled a lot, so played less and less frequently. Changed jobs to not have to travel so much, but still only played guitar every few weeks or months.
Been dabbling with valve amp circuits this past year, and that has sparked my interest in guitar again. I play almost every day now. I concentrate mainly on metal , TOOL, Killswitch, Scar Symmetry, etc. but have also been trying some blues like Clapton, and whatever genre Santana(such great tone) is in.
So, when I'm not bogged down by work or household chores, etc. I'm either playing guitar, building and/or repairing amplifiers, computers, or basically anything(lol), listening to music, surfing the net(information junkie), or drinking... or any combination thereof ;D
