Warlocks Mentors
First Robotics teams are made up of both the student members and their adult advisors; teachers, engineers, tradespeople, parents and volunteers. Because the team is a cooperative effort, the adults are referred to as mentors.

Background: I graduated from DeSales High School. I was lucky, it was one of the first high schools to offer computer courses. I worked in electronics repair for Tandy Corp. and a vending machine company before being hired into production at Harrisons in 1976. I entered the apprenticeship there in 1988. Although I have never earned a college degree, I have taken numerous courses in electronics and even robotics.
Favorite Hobbies: I've always been a tinkerer with anything technological. I became a Ham Radio operator while in high school. I enjoy photography and building computers. I am an avid skiier and like to cycle in the summer if I have time.
