Since I was very young I have been fascinated with electronics.  I took apart everything I could get my hands on when I was growing up, and eventually, I learned how to put things together.  I always wondered what "made things tick", and started building electronics projects from kits.  As time went on, I learned more about electronics, and majored in Electronics Technology at John A. Logan College, where I later went on to teach Analog Electronics classes.

Technology is growing by leaps and bounds daily, gadgets constantly get faster and smaller.  Although I appreciate all the things that these technological advances bring us, I also see a great resource slipping away; the true electronics technician.  The field has advanced to the point that one must be very specialized to be useful in the market, you must either be very good at software engineering, electrial engineering, or systems engineering.  To make students more marketable most schools have moved away from teaching component level theory, and focus on more mathematical intensive currriculum.  While this is a needed change, this has unfortunately caused a decline in interest in fundamental electronics theory, and the true electronics technician is a dying breed.

So, for those out there who share my passion, and hopefully a few people who want to learn more about real electronics, I have created this section of my website.  It should contain all the information you need to get started.  As time goes on, I hope to add hands-on experiments to aid in learning.  Please let me know if you have any questions, or need more information.

Enjoy.
