Who I am
Over 4 decades in Land Mobile Radio RF plus Test & Measurement Equipment
Recently retired from a long career I have a variety of experience in technical and management responsibilities. The past 15 years have been as an RF and Test Equipment subject matter expert for a North America System Integration business.
I evaluated, tested, and approved RF devices and test equipment for use by field teams, partners, and customers. Additionally, I researched, developed, and train field teams on all aspects of LMR RF technical procedures and acceptance documentation.
Well known for a very strong technical background by other groups in this business such as product development, system architecture, system engineering, coverage design and test, and field services I make significant contributions in my area of expertise.
