I am 64 years young. I have been a Maker since before making was a thing. My passion is robotics which I have been working with since 2006. I am always doing what I can to push my abilities further so I can do more. I have been learning on my own since I graduated from High School. I graduated in the top 10% of my Senior class.

I have learned many things even before starting to work with robotics such as how to program in Python. I have also programmed in several dialects of the BASIC language both for hobby and work. Now, I learn on my own and have learned 3D CAD with Fusion 360 and how to design and build robots. This has required me to learn mechanical design and construction, more advanced electronics including how to use and program microcontrollers, and more advanced software development skills.

I learn very fast and can apply what I learn immediately. When I need to do something new, I learn how to do it. I am in the process of learning how to design PCBs now because I can not find what I need with stock electronics. I use 3D CAD to design custom parts for my robots, including adapters for attaching items.
