Presenter is a First Responder in the rural Fire Service and a retired Police Sergeant, followed by a 20 year career in higher ED as the IT manager for the Electrical Engineering Program. He piloted the first mobile data PCs in the County for law enforcement using multiple networks, and currently manages radio communications for a modern FD that still faces wireless coverage challenges.
His interest in radio communications actually started at the very early age of 5 when his dad helped him build his first wireless receiver. This eventually lead to over 50 years of lifetime experience in VHF and UHF radio, satellite and public safety communications with a focus on Radio/IP technologies. He has served on various NPSTC committees and most recently involved with testing PTT over Direct to Cell Satellite communications using Space-X and T-Mobile during their trial period.
