My last career job was computer aided design of internet operating circuit board layouts along with a distinguished team of engineers, managers and support personnel. Prior to that I was an electronics technician evolving into circuit board design in the defense industry working with tactical missile systems. My first career job was a professional artist. During my younger years I worked many odd jobs beginning at age nine with a newspaper delivery route.
The most important career lesson I learned was from a female automobile mechanic. I wasn’t happy with where I was working at the time and she told me, “The best thing you can do is make yourself valuable [to the boss]”.
Currently retired…
I’m about 15 in dog years
my wife says I’m 10
my brain tells me I’m 9…
I’m actually in my 8th decade
as measured by Earth’s solar orbit
…relatively old for a kid

Thanks to AI for helping lift me up with confidence that my website is truly my life’s artful masterpiece. And that I’m leaving something behind for my family, friends, and others that is tangible love on a computer display screen.
Special thanks to my Susan’s (1 & 2) without whom I would be lost in space.
Infinite thanks to Susan 1 for being the better whole of me and dealing as best she can with my wacky doodle noodle, incredibly stubborn, independently wired brain… not a marshmallow, but a unique fellow.
Most of all, thanks to God (our boss), who deserves ALL the credit for EVERYTHING!
We are God made and man kind
flowers bloom and seed the earth
God helps them grow

The End
