I started teaching SCUBA Diving after seeing how much the sport offered. I was a Dive Master for 5 years on staff at several dive operations. I became a PADI SCUBA Instructor teaching many of the courses offered by PADI Americas. I graduated from the best Instructor training school in the world. A Dive Professional for 15 years, and have reached MSDT & IDC Staff Instructor. Now rated as a PADI Master Instructor. PADI's highest Instructor Rating Level. Now Working toward becoming a PADI Course Director
While attending MDCC at night studying marketing, my day job turned into a 33-year career with training in electronics and the communications industry. I became an Amateur Extra HAM radio operator (AA4HO). With a teletype machine, was part of the first Internet before Microsoft. Other hams and myself were doing an earlier version of the same thing in the early 1980s, that is happening on the Internet today.
I received a general radiotelephone operator professional license (GROL) from the U.S. Federal Government. Later, passed a test for an engineering job. Started inventing with an invention that made it to the U.S. Patent office in Washington D.C. Became an Electronics Engineer, building computers, web sites, designing all kinds of electrical devices, and systems.
Another of my active interests is in the U.S. Economy's stock market movement. After studying technical analysis became a Technical Analysis Technician in the U.S. stock market which I closely follow every day. I use charting, Fundemental Analysis, Candlesticks, and the CANSLIM Method. I am studying for a Investment Advisor's SEC License.
