That's me!

After watching videos of the devestating floods from Hurricane Helene, I realized that I needed to get my license and be prepared.

As I started learning about all that an operator could do in this field, I gravitated towards Em Comm and APRS.

Using my background as a software engineer, I knew that I could meld these interests and skills into innovative ideas.

Among my growing interests and influences are Western Massachusetts ARES, Eastern Massachusetts ARES, APRS Foundation, APRS @ groups.io,
Appalachian Trail Golden Packet, Central Massachusetts Amateur Radio Association and APRS LoRa.

I have presented or will present Net Central at Appalachian Trail Golden Packet, Pentagon Amateur Radio Club, Stafford County VA EMCOMMS and Central Massachusetts Amateur Radio Association.
If you're interested, join Net Central groups.io and let's talk!
