KB3EIB is John Waide, A Physician Assistant, and a man of too many hobbies. My wife, Missy and I are living in the beautiful hills of Steuben County in Western New York. We have a young son, Braedon, who is being taught to speak in dits and dahs, much to his mother's chagrin. We also share our home with a consistantly shedding dog named Sophie. I began in amature radio to improve my communication abilities, and to become active in local emergency services groups. When I'm not working, or spending time with my wife, or trying to keep up with my volunteer fire department, I enjoy being out in the beauty that God has created for his people. I hike, fish, and hunt in the hills surrounding our home. My wife and I both enjoy music, and play several instruments. We moved back to the finger lakes region after I graduated from college in 2002 to be closer to family and time bound friends. We enjoy gardening and have a small farm to call home. As a matter of principle, we take each day as a gift, and try to realize all the wonders that are plainly before us. Many thanks to those family and friends that have influenced my life, both professionally, and spiritually. It has made a difference. I hope to hear some of you on the air soon. 73's and God Bless,

John, KB3EIB
