Adventure is the Antenna.
Life is the Band.
My love for radio began not in a ham shack, but at sea. As a U.S. Navy Electronics Aviation Technician and MARS Station Operator — servicing F-14 Tomcats and S-3 Vikings, serving aboard the USS Carl Vinson, USS Independence, and at the legendary Naval Fighter Weapons School, Top Gun — I lived and breathed electronics and HF communications through some of the most demanding conditions imaginable. That experience never left me. Nearly three decades later, with an FCC General Class license and a BMW R-1200 GS Adventure loaded with gear, I'm taking that same passion outdoors — into the parks, onto the trails, and onto the air. Parks On The Air is the perfect marriage of everything I love. Welcome to my journey.

Your POTA Guide.
From operating military HF communications aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers to building a world-class home station over nearly three decades, my foundation in amateur radio runs deep.
POTA has reignited that same sense of adventure I felt at sea — and I'm bringing everything I know to help you get on the air, in the field, and in the log. Whether you're brand new to amateur radio or a seasoned operator ready to take the hobby outdoors, we're on this journey together.
The Forecast is Your
Field Advantage.
Before every activation, I check the same dashboard I built for you. Real-time solar flux, band conditions, aurora forecasts, and NOAA space weather alerts — all in one place, updating every three minutes. Knowledge is the best piece of equipment you can carry into the field.
