I am a learner. I am a sporting competitor. I am not afraid of failure. I am eager to learn the lessons required to reach the top. I dare say it is a very pleasurable mix.

I am happiest when I am identifying problems – in a complex circuit, in control systems, logic and digital circuits or simply the detection of flaws in coding. When the problem is accessible

“If marijuana was legal, back-yard marijuana gardens would be in every neighborhood, thus kids would be able to get it as easy as taking fruit off a neighbor’s tree” (Johnathan Greens).
