Served aboard USS Boston (SSN-703) as Radioman from 1984 to 1988. Left the Navy as an RM2(SS) in '88 at Groton and moved out west to Phoenix, AZ where I
worked for a govt. electronics contractor. Moved to Las Vegas where I was employed in the casinos for a few years repairing electronic slot machines, then at
one of the slot manufacturers as a game tester and troubleshooter. Currently taking temporary leave from the local industry riff-raff by selling books on eBay
and spending my evenings on the airwaves via ham radio.
