academic background
combined experience in
field of interest have
prepared me for
employment
completed electronics trade school in 1971 from Elkins .worked at
AT&T for 32 years as central office technician, job required I go to
company schools to keep up with changing technology in work place.
learned to understand and master working on digital equipment. when
I went to work at telephone company call processing equipment was
changing from analog technology to digital .I was part of that
evolution in the downtown Dallas central offices known as the
Riverside co. I worked on special circuits that send and received data.
fiber technology was part of that training. we used digital devices that
send and received large amounts of data. I also was in charge of
maintaining the switch that processed 911 calls in north Texas area.
while at AT&T. I was trained in the use of company dumb terminals
(no hard drive.
all work was done thru access points into a main frame
3. computer) that accessed various data bases for the upkeep of
equipment and trunking operations between the central offices.
DON’T misunderstand the switch i worked on was a large in scope
computer it had program stores that were used to load software for the
operation of call processing complete with a central processor that
was in control of all phases of a call.it had buses for the exchange of
data from one device with another I also was responsible for all
related switching equipment that was controlled by the CPU on the
three offices .also used many types of test equipment some installed
on the main frame computers that processed calls . I used test
equipment that were part the computers test panels and repaired same
with the use of tech manuals.
I also used portable test equipment thru the day. I was
assigned and worked as dispatcher in a local area that would break
down trouble reports and help in the clearing of problems by loading
others in the co with trouble tickets and helping them clear the
problem over the phone and thru the use of documentation
.My employment at AT&T has taken me from vacuum tubes to
large scale integrated circuits and how they interact in the operation of
a circuit. because of my background.
I have built for me others 13 computers from ground up. I
installed all equipment in the personal computers I have build and and
install the operating systems. all drivers, all software, all updates, and
clear thru the use of the internet software fixes when problems in the
operation of the computer hardware or software occur.
I have built a network that shares three printers three scanner
and 32 hard drive that are by six computers in my home network. also
have setup one mouse and one keyboard that controls four computers
that use three 27 inch video monitors across my desk.
I also on a regular basics calibrate my printers and monitors. my
education in the tech field made it possible for me to built a stereo
system that has four amps one Pre amp four video sources to one High
definition television in one room an another in mcomputer room.
I create all kinds video and audio and analog set ups. and make
the changes match thru the use of adapters.so all equipment can share
common equipment all this was possible because i understand the
limits and operation of various equipment and how it can be made to
link up.
special skills and
experiences
My training in the service introduced me into electronics at a
young age.it took me in train from basic electronics to complete
understanding of all forms of electronic communication video, radio,
radar.
4. at that time vacuum tube were the norm. then after my discharge I
enrolled at Elkins institute in Dallas on Inwood Rd were I received
training that companies would accept as a valid form of electronics
training. military training at that time was not held as any high value
in work places.
I also worked as an outside tech for united coin where I would
repair commercial laundry machines. while in training at Elkins.so i
attained more experience in the electrical field and improved my
mechanical skills.
I also have built a complete engine and hit the starter on one
time and ran smooth and perfectly.my mechanical skills are above
average.
My training has made it possible for me built and maintain
complex a home entertainment center
a home computer system that is not a gaming computer but has
functional uses thru the use of a network that uses microphones
printers scanners video capture devices that four computers can switch
into use as needed .
I can copy various types of VHS HDMI component video.
records (LP) (45) cassette tapes .
I have trained myself to use windows Xp , Vista, 7,8,10. I can
and do install operating system software and take old files off hard
drives to add to new computers that I have built or upgraded.
I have added equipment and changed equipment to improve its
performance. also made software upgrades to keep devices up to date.
and added firmware updates to devices the number of personal
computers I have fixed computers or friends and family
Other Skills
I am a photographer, that truly loves to do photography, because of
that i have amassed all my past training to glean info from different
technologies to make me a better photographer. that required on my
part learning about new things how digital cameras work how to use

equipment requires the know how to make those changes on a device
or software to make it work.
