I was the electrical engineer for rescue vehicles at the Indy 500 & Brickyard 400 for six years.

Working on and off in the trades to fill any gaps in time, I have become journeyman level as a plumber, electrician and carpenter. For something exciting and different for 15 plus years, I spent my weekend working for the Television Networks ESPN, NBC, CBS, ABC, TNN, TBS, SPEED VISION, working on the production crew for Motor Sports Programming. Learning all the Audio / Video necessary to produce live TV. I also went to Santa Rosa Jr. College Communications class in the off season to learn and stay as sharp.
