Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting my site. I'm currently perusing a BS in Electrical Engineering at North Carolina State University. My specific areas of interest lie in energy control and operations. My current goal is to pursue a career as a Transmission System Operator. I am primarily involved in the Student Amateur Radio Society at NCSU. In addition to NC State, I am a graduate of Gaston College in Dallas, North Carolina. I work part time for Gaston College as a mathmatics tutor (please see Learning Resources for more info).
I am a licensed by the FCC as an amateur radio operator, and hold an extra class license. My callsign is W4WXL. On the Amateur Radio tab, I have compiled a plethora of resources useful for amateur radio operators like myself. At the bottom of that page, I've included picutres and a description of my equipment. In addition to amateur radio, my hobbies include the restoration of old iron equipment. On the Iron Collection tab, you'll find a collection of pictures I've collected in this hobby. It's my belief that we should all do our part to protect history, and that includes equipment. The internal combustion engine is quite possibly the biggest engineering advancement in recent time; think of how many ways that single invention has fueld our success as a nation.
Finally, I'm an avid musician and play several different instruments. My favorite of these is the piano and the violin, but I also enjoying picking a guitar and mandolin. I have experience as a worship leader for Catawba Valley Baptist Church. Besides playing, I also enjoy listening to all the old music!
Thank you for coming by, and I hope you enjoy my site.
