I've been married since 1985 and have two kids, a boy and a girl.

I am the owner/coordinator of the KB9SJZ Centerville, Indiana Repeater on 147.180+. This repeater is used for R.A.C.E.S. and Wx Nets. The weekly net is every Friday at 7:00 PM (Indiana time) or 0000 UTC. On April 6, 2004 the new repeater system was put on the air at 6:00 P.M. This new system has WX Alert broadcast from the NWS S.A.M.E. alert system.

My mother-in-law got me interested in amateur radio and I've enjoyed it alot. I have been involved in amateur radio since March 1998 and upgraded to Tech. Plus in April 1999 and now have a General Class.

I am the Wayne County R.A.C.E.S. officer and an active member of SKYWARN.
